AUTODROMO NAZIONALE MONZA GETS ISO 20121 CERTIFICATION
Autodromo Nazionale Monza has obtained the prestigious ISO 20121:2024 certification, issued by RINA, for sustainable event management. The international recognition attests to the adoption of high standards to reduce environmental impact, promote inclusiveness and improve organizational efficiency.
To achieve this certification, the Autodrome adopted a management system that integrates the analysis and evaluation of the environmental, social and economic impacts of events; the definition of sustainable goals and performance indicators (KPIs); the involvement of internal and external stakeholders (public, suppliers, community, local authorities); the adoption of concrete measures to reduce consumption, emissions, waste and improve the accessibility and inclusiveness of events; and a continuous improvement plan, supported by internal audits and periodic checks.
An achievement to which are added the significant achievements of the 2025 edition of the Formula 1 Pirelli Italian Grand Prix in sustainability and inclusion.
Separate waste collection reached 62.97%, an increase of 11.85% over 2024. 26 water stations and 120 dispensing points - including 110 dedicated to fans - have been installed, preventing the consumption of more than 480,000 plastic bottles.
In collaboration with LILT (Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro i Tumori), 70,000 doses of SPF 50+ sunscreen were distributed free of charge, while the Food Don ation initiative recovered 1.8 tons of food, donated to 290 families in need.
Great attention was also paid to social issues: the Awabot project involved 36 children with disabilities or serious illnesses, with the support of all 10 F1 teams, President Stefano Domenicali, and champions such as Jacques Villeneuve and Jean Alesi. With Make-A-Wish, 20 tickets were donated to young patients, and 20 children from the Maria Letizia Verga Foundation were featured as Grid Kids.
Economically as well, the GP confirmed its roots in the territory: out of 92 companies involved, nearly 60 percent are based in Lombardy, while more than 92 percent are Italian, testifying to the value of the national supply chain.
VOLUNTEERS&OFFICIALS MONTH: OFFICIALS AWARD CEREMONY IN MONZA AS WELL
Autodromo Nazionale Monza is one of the three venues chosen by ACI Sport for the awarding of race officials as part of the campaign initiated by the FIA, the International Automobile Federation, which has elected October as Volunteers& Officials Month.
The initiative was taken to pay tribute to the commitment and passion of the people who, every year, make it possible for motorsport events to take place around the world.
Automobile Club d'Italia -National Motorsport Federation- is enthusiastically joining the initiative through ACI Sport, celebrating the fundamental contribution of race officials working in every corner of the country.
From international competitions to national and regional championships, thousands of people play key roles - such as those of race directors, course marshals, sports marshals, technical marshals, health service, and firefighters - that are essential to the success of track and road events and to the safety of participants and spectators. Their expertise and dedication are an irreplaceable resource for the entire sports movement.
To reinforce this message, ACI has decided to award race officials who have distinguished themselves by their spirit of service, making a particularly significant contribution in terms of commitment. The awards will be presented during a number of major events on the national calendar taking place in October, including the FIA World Karting Championship scheduled at Franciacorta (BS) Oct. 9-12, the 72nd Rallye Sanremo, valid for the European and Sparco Italian Rally Championships (Oct. 17-19), and theACI Racing Weekend at the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza scheduled Oct. 24-26.
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA, said:
"Volunteers are the lifeblood of our sport. Their passion, dedication and commitment are truly inspiring and enable motorsport events to take place all over the world, bringing joy and entertainment to millions of fans. By declaring October Volunteer Month, FIA expresses its sincere appreciation and commitment to all our volunteers. I invite anyone interested in volunteering at a motorsports event to get involved and discover how rewarding it is to play such a significant role in the races and events we all love to watch."
Tullio Del Sette, Extraordinary Commissioner of the Automobile Club of Italy, pointed out:
"This initiative is an important moment to highlight the crucial role of race officials. Without their professionalism, commitment and passion, racing could not take place. They are the ones who ensure safety, organization and proper conduct of every race. It is therefore a duty and a privilege for ACI to recognize their value and publicly thank them."
For John Baptist Tombolato, ACI Sub Commissioner: "Race officials contribute to the perfect success of races in Italy and around the world and perfectly embody the concept of sportsmanship. To pay tribute to them is to embrace the highest values of sportsmanship and inclusion."
"Officials - confirmed ACI president-elect Geronimo La Russa - are the highest expression of that love of sport and helpfulness to others that are among the founding values of all Automobile Club of Italy activity. Recognizing the efforts and sacrifices of these people is therefore an honor, as well as a joy, for all of us who are part of the ACI family."
Throughout the month, ACI Sport will also promote awareness-raising moments and informational initiatives to bring new people into sports volunteering, with the aim of training and welcoming new people into key roles in the organization of competitions.

RECOVERED 1.8 TONS OF FOOD AT FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GP D'ITALIA 2025: DONATED TO 290 NEEDY FAMILIES
An Italian Grand Prix in Monza that this year recorded a record attendance during the 3-day event: 369,041 fans present at the racetrack.
But the weekend can boast of another great achievement: thanks to the memorandum of understanding between ATS Brianza, Autodromo Nazionale Monza and CSV (Centro di Servizio per il Volontariato) Monza, Lecco and Sondrio for the promotion of food waste reduction, recovery of food surpluses and redistribution to families in need in the area, they were rAccepted more than 1.8 tons of foodstuffs, donated by food operators and meal production centers present at the Autodrome; coordination and collaboration among ATS operators, Food Sector Operators, CSV led to the collection, portioning and distribution of meals and food products to 290 families in need, thanks to the efforts of 100 valiant volunteers and Health Protection Agency workers, who were busy until the Wednesday following the Grand Prix.
Raw materials, semi-finished products and properly stored meals such as fruits and vegetables, ready meals, meat, beverages, and baked goods were delivered by the food operators who joined the project, at the collection centers located at the Autodrome, where operators from the Food Hygiene and Nutrition Structure of ATS Brianza verified that the hygiene and safety requirements of the delivered food were maintained.
"This collaboration is truly a feather in the cap of activities in the field of surplus recovery and the fight against food waste," explains ATS Brianza General Manager Paola Palmieri. "It is a project that is made possible thanks to the commitment and collaboration between entities, associations, and food operators, united in this challenge of social responsibility, environmental sustainability and health promotion. The protocol has been active since 2022 and year after year we have expanded the scope, applying this model not only to the Grand Prix, but to other events at the Autodrome, collecting 28 tons of food in 4 years and helping hundreds of needy families in neighboring municipalities. I would like to emphasize how the awareness-raising activities and waste reduction campaigns we have promoted have resulted in greater attention and better planning on the part of the operators in the sector, allowing a steady decline in the food surplus recovered year after year during the Grand Prix. Finally, I would like to thank the operators of our agency who engaged in this activity for 4 days and all the volunteers who contributed to its success."
"The Italian Grand Prix 2025 represented for Monza not only an extraordinary success in terms of participation, but also a concrete opportunity to demonstrate how a major sporting event can generate a positive impact on the territory, also from a social and environmental point of view," commented Giuseppe Redaelli, president of SIAS Autodromo Nazionale Monza. "Thanks to the memorandum of understanding with ATS Brianza and CSV Monza Lecco Sondrio, and the fundamental contribution of food operators and more than 100 volunteers, we were able to collect more than 1.8 tons of food surplus. This is an extraordinary result that shows how collaboration between institutions, third sector entities and businesses can translate into concrete gestures of solidarity, efficiency and sustainability. This project is a source of great pride for us: the Autodromo Nazionale Monza wants to continue to be not only the Temple of Speed, but also a point of reference for a model of responsible event that is attentive to the welfare of the territory. To all those who made this achievement possible, goes my most sincere thanks."
"So much work, so many rules to follow, so much responsibility to the families in need who are waiting for this great opportunity! The good exists and the 80 volunteers involved who worked tirelessly and impeccably giving hours of their lives are tangible proof of that! We have activated an important Monza network, that of Pane ù&Rose, which I thank from the bottom of my heart for distributing in record time what was collected," emphasizes Filippo Viganò, president of CSV Monza Lecco Sondrio. The good news flowing from this exemplary experience is that there are still many people who give of themselves for free for the public good and for the most fragile. Important to say this indeed to repeat it in a communication system that often generates anguish and a sense of helplessness. So thank you to all the volunteers and all the volunteers of the world!"
