2025 SUSTAINABILITY

& D&I REPORT

An

FOREWORD BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE FIA

Dear Reader,

The FIA 2025 Sustainability and Diversity & Inclusion Report highlights the progress we have made against my manifesto commitments, while also underscoring our responsibility as a global Federation to continue leading with purpose and ambition.

Our diversity is our strength. With 245 FIA Member Clubs across 149 countries, our global community drives innovation, strengthens decision-making, and ensures that motorsport and mobility continue to grow in ways that are inclusive and representative of future generations.

Over the past year, we have made strong progress towards our goal of doubling motorsport participation worldwide. Through the FIA Global Karting Plan, the inaugural FIA Karting Arrive and Drive World Cup brought together drivers from 50 nationalities to compete in identical and standardised karts, reducing entry costs and opening the door to drivers from new regions. Initiatives such as Motor Sport in a Box and the FIA Affordable Cross Car Programme have seen growing

engagement from FIA Member Clubs, helping to reduce barriers to entry at the grassroots level.

Our FIA World Championships continue to redefine what can be achieved through technological innovation. In 2025, the FIA approved the first technical and safety regulations for hydrogen-powered vehicles, while advancing the 2026 FIA Formula One regulations which introduced cars powered by advanced sustainable fuels and a significantly increased electrical component.

The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship continues to demonstrate how sustainability can be embedded from the outset, accelerating technologies that are shaping the future of mobility.

Alongside this, targeted investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel has delivered an estimated reduction of 1,269 tonnes of CO2e in 2025, equivalent to approximately 22% of our total emissions linked to logistics.

Despite an overall rise in the FIA’s carbon footprint in 2025, targeted measures in logistics and sustainable fuels continued to deliver meaningful emissions reductions, demonstrating that focused action can still achieve change. Progress is not linear and we continue to learn and grow, refining our approach to deliver more targeted and impactful reductions across our global operations.

In mobility, we have continued to empower our FIA Member Clubs. The FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme achieved its strongest performance to date. The FIA President’s Awards once again recognised outstanding sustainable innovation, spotlighting pioneering initiatives that deliver tangible environmental and social impact.

We are also addressing emerging challenges that extend far beyond the track. Since I founded United Against Online Abuse (UAOA) in 2023, our global coalition has grown to over 70 partners and we continue to unite leaders across sport, government, and technology to tackle this growing threat.

Looking ahead, our direction is clear. We will continue to innovate, strengthen frameworks, and raise standards. The progress outlined in this report is the result of the collective effort of our FIA Member Clubs, championships, and partners worldwide. But we will not stop here.

2025 marked another great year of progress. Together, we are shaping a future in which motorsport and mobility are not only more sustainable, but more inclusive, accessible, and truly reflective of the diverse global community we serve.

Sincerely,

H.E. Mohammed Ben Sulayem President of the FIA

“IN 2025, WE CONTINUED TO STRENGTHEN THE FRAMEWORKS THAT DELIVER VALUE TO MEMBER CLUBS, COLLEAGUES, TEAMS AND WIDER STAKEHOLDERS EVERY DAY.”

Our work is organised across a set of clear priorities: enabling environmental performance, providing the tools to track progress, increasing participation, and strengthening career pathways into sport and mobility.

In environmental sustainability, delivery is supported through programmes and standards that enable Members and Championships to measure and improve environmental performance. The FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme remains a key framework for embedding these practices, while the new Biodiversity Assessment Tool helps stakeholders assess and manage nature-related impacts at events.

We also continued to broaden access into motor sport through initiatives such as FIA CareerShift, FIA Girls on Track, and mentoring programmes. Formats such as the FIA Karting ‘Arrive & Drive’ World Cup support entry at grassroots level, while the Empowering Disabled Motorsport Award reflect our commitment to accessibility.

Across the FIA, this work is reinforced by organisational structures and external frameworks such as ISO 140001 and EDGE Certification, ensuring that diversity and inclusion are managed with consistency, accountability, and impact.

Sincerely,

Andrew Fraser Chair, FIA Sustainability and Diversity & Inclusion Committee

ABOUT THIS REPORT

This report covers our activity across 2025, setting out how we deliver direct impact through our role as the governing body of world motor sport, and how we use our influence across the wider mobility sector to drive positive outcomes for environmental ecosystems and communities globally.

It outlines the shared challenges we are responding to, from the pace and scale of climate change to the need to expand access to motor sport and mobility, ensuring opportunities are open to all, regardless of background or geography. Our aim is to provide a clear and balanced view of progress across these areas.

We also highlight the role of our wider ecosystem, including championships, manufacturers, teams, and Member Clubs, reflecting the collective effort required to deliver change at scale.

Finally, we report on the performance of our own operations, tracking progress against key performance indicators and identifying areas for continuous improvement. This structured approach helps ensure consistency, accountability, and measurable impact over time.

CONTEXT FOR ACTION

Motor sport and mobility are operating within a rapidly changing global context, where pressures are no longer theoretical or long-term, but immediate, interconnected, and operational. As a result, expectations across sport and industry are shifting from commitment to delivery, with organisations required to demonstrate measurable outcomes while continuing to perform at the highest level.

At the same time, environmental pressures, including climate risk and the growing importance of nature, are influencing how events are planned, how infrastructure is managed, and how organisations operate in practice. These are no longer external considerations, but factors that directly affect performance, resilience, and long-term viability.

Alongside this, access, inclusion, and talent are becoming critical economic factors. Expanding participation, developing new pathways into the sport, and ensuring representation across different communities are essential to sustaining the future of motor sport and mobility.

The operating environment is also evolving in new ways. The rise of digital platforms has introduced new risks around safety and integrity, requiring coordinated responses that extend beyond traditional sporting frameworks.

Across all of these areas, one theme is consistent: the need for systems that can operate at scale. Solutions must be practical, transferable, and capable of delivering impact across a global and highly interconnected ecosystem.

As the governing body of world motor sport and a Federation of the world’s leading mobility organisations, the FIA is uniquely positioned to respond to these challenges.

One of the overarching objectives of the FIA is to establish a union between its Member Clubs, while maintaining a core mission of encouraging and supporting a responsible concern for environmental issues and promoting sustainable development in its activities.

Working with its Member Clubs, championships, and partners, the FIA is developing the standards, frameworks, and initiatives that enable motor sport and mobility to adapt, perform, and evolve in this changing context.

As a Federation of Member Clubs worldwide across 149 countries, the FIA supports its Members through environmental and social change. It provides practical frameworks, guidance, and shared standards to help Member Clubs respond consistently and effectively, strengthening resilience and expanding access.

Motor sport is a proving ground for innovation, where new technologies are tested under pressure. The FIA works with championships and teams to develop solutions that influence wider mobility, while ensuring safety, accessibility, and community remain central.

GOVERNANCE

Sustainability and Diversity & Inclusion are integral parts of the Federation’s governance framework.

From the specialised Commissions to the General Assembly, the FIA’s supreme body, each of the relevant bodies has specific roles related to sustainability and Diversity & Inclusion, whether that is strategic guidance, shaping policy, or promoting best practice.

The World Motor Sport Council has established a Sustainability and D&I Committee, to which a series of specific commissions report to:

- The Sport Environment & Sustainability Commission

- The Sport Disability & Accessibility Commission

- The Women in Motorsport Commission

Each brings together subject matter experts and FIA Member Club representatives to define priorities and develop proposals that address the evolving needs of the sport sector.

The Sustainability and D&I Committee reviews the recommendations from these Commissions and translates them into proposals for consideration by the World Motor Sport Council.

On the mobility side, the World Council for Automobile Mobility and Tourism established the Mobility Policy Commission, which carries out a similar role.

WORLD COUNCIL FOR AUTOMOBILE MOBILITY AND TOURISM MOBILITY POLICY COMMISSION

SPORT ENVIRONMENT & SUSTAINABILITY COMMISSION

SPORT DISABILITY & ACCESSIBILITY COMMISSION WOMEN IN MOTORSPORT COMMISSION

Bodies Committees and Commissions

Both World Councils are responsible for presenting an annual progress report in their respective fields (including sustainability, diversity & inclusion related activities) to the General Assembly.

In 2025, five women were in leadership roles within our Commissions:

FORMULA 1 GOVERNANCE

In December 2025, the FIA, Formula One Group, and all 11 teams formally signed the Concorde Governance Agreement, which for the first time formally recognises the ESG Advisory Committee (EAC).

Advisory Committees in Formula 1 act as advisory bodies to the F1 Commission in respect of the technical, sporting, and financial aspects of the F1 Regulations as well as with the environmental, social, and governance matters that are relevant to the F1 Regulations.

The EAC has a consultative and advisory status and shall propose amendments and additions, and make recommendations to the relevant Advisory Committee(s) in regard to the F1 Regulations, focusing on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects.

By establishing a formal ESG-focused body within the governance framework, the FIA, Formula One Group, and the 11 teams are embedding sustainability matters into the decision-making process, ensuring that ESG considerations are systematically addressed in the evolution of the championship.

OUR IMPACT IN 2025

A central challenge across global motor sport and mobility is turning environmental ambition into measurable action. As the governing body of world motor sport and a Federation of mobility organisations, the FIA plays a central role in shaping the frameworks, standards, and partnerships needed to deliver this.

In 2025, we strengthened this foundation: new guidance and tools supported Member Clubs, championships and events in managing their impacts. The FIA Environmental Handbook brought these into a single reference point, while initiatives such as the Biodiversity Assessment Tool, Air Quality Guidelines, and Heat Risk Management Guidelines expanded practical support. Together, these are embedding environmental action into day-today operations.

This work extends into everyday mobility, where how vehicles are used has a direct impact on emissions and safety. Initiatives such as the Smart Driving Challenge support more efficient driving at scale, engaging drivers across almost 100 countries to improve performance on the road.

On the other hand, motor sport focuses on what vehicles are capable of. The approval of technical and safety regulations for liquid hydrogen powered competition vehicles, now included in the FIA International Sporting Code, marks an important step in enabling emerging energy solutions to be tested, with potential to shape future mobility pathways.

Alongside this, the systems that underpin delivery continue to evolve. The FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme has grown, reflecting demand for credible, independently verified

pathways to improve environmental performance. Collaboration with corporate partners and technology leaders is helping translate innovation into practical solutions across both motor sport and mobility.

We recognise that there is still much to do across our organisation to meet our Net Zero target. Our carbon footprint has increased as our activities have expanded, and our workforce has grown. While we have made progress in reducing our environmental impact where we have greater direct influence, particularly in logistics, we know that urgent action is needed.

In 2026, the FIA will intensify our efforts to accelerate decarbonisation with a strengthened sustainability team in place, an expanded skills base, an activated global member network, and a revised sustainability roadmap. We will apply our learnings over the last five years to a clear set of priorities and will focus on delivering faster, more measurable progress.

Looking ahead, we will continue to advance delivery: improving environmental data, expanding collaboration, and ensuring FIA frameworks translate ambition into measurable progress. The direction is clear: a more sustainable and resilient future across both the global motor sport and mobility ecosystem.

Sincerely,

Willem Groenewald FIA Secretary General for Mobility, Sustainability, and Tourism

“Motor sport and mobility have a critical role to play in shaping a more sustainable future, not just through innovation, but through how that innovation is applied in practice.”

HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The FIA is uniquely positioned to influence environmental progress across a complex global ecosystem that includes Member Clubs, championships, teams, manufacturers, and event organisers.

Environmental expectations across sport and industry continue to evolve. Organisations are increasingly expected to demonstrate measurable progress rather than long-term commitments alone. At the same time, climate impacts and wider environmental pressures increasingly influence how events and operations are managed in practice.

Delivering this transition also requires access to the right skills, innovations, and partnerships, while maintaining the safety, integrity, and trust that underpin motor sport.

In this context, the FIA works with its Member Clubs, championships, industry partners, and subject matter experts to develop practical systems and frameworks that support environmental progress across the global motor sport and mobility community.

The FIA’s Environment work therefore focuses on four key areas:

SUSTAINABLE ENERGIES ROADMAP

The FIA has been setting the roadmap for the use of sustainable energy in motor sport and mobility since 2020.

In 2025, the FIA approved the first technical and safety regulations for liquid hydrogen-powered vehicles. These regulations establish the safety and operational standards required to enable the safe, high-performance use of liquid hydrogen in competition vehicles, covering areas such as tank design, multi-layer leak detection, monitoring systems, and refuelling procedures. These will be incorporated into the FIA International Sporting Code, establishing a clear regulatory framework for the future use of hydrogen technologies in motor sport.

Beyond the sport itself, the development of these regulations positions the FIA as an important catalyst for hydrogen innovation. By creating a credible regulatory framework for hydrogenpowered vehicles, the FIA will enable manufacturers and teams to test emerging technologies in competitive environments, while contributing to broader advances in hydrogen mobility in the future.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS 2025

First ever FIA technical and safety regulations for liquid hydrogen-powered vehicles, approved in 2025.

To be incorporated into Appendix J, Article 253 of the FIA International Sporting Code.

SUSTAINABLE ENERGIES ROADMAP

The different innovations in racing car design support the transition towards using sustainable fuels across FIA World Championships.

SUSTAINABLE FUEL INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE (ICE)

A sustainable fuel ICE is a conventional combustion engine that runs on biofuels or synthetic e-fuels derived from renewable sources such as carbon capture, municipal waste, or non-food biomass. The fuel life cycle must result in a minimum 65% emissions reduction compared to fossil fuel (sourcing and production)*.

FULL ELECTRIC VEHICLES (EVS)

Full electric vehicles rely entirely on charged batteries to power the electric motors, eliminating on-board combustion and tailpipe emissions.

HYDROGEN FUEL CELL VEHICLES

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles convert hydrogen into electricity through an electrochemical reaction to drive electric motors, producing primarily water vapour as tailpipe emissions.

HYBRID ELECTRIC USING SUSTAINABLE FUEL

Hybrid systems combine an internal combustion engine running on sustainable fuels with one or more electric motors powered by batteries and energy recovery systems. The combination of electric assistance and efficient ICE operation reduces fuel consumption and emissions. The fuel life cycle used also has to result in a minimum 65% emissions reduction compared to fossil fuel (sourcing and production)*.

LIQUID HYDROGEN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE (H2-ICE)

A liquid hydrogen ICE uses cryogenic hydrogen as a fuel for combustion in adapted combustion engines offering high energy density, rapid refuelling, and ICE driving dynamics suitable for highperformance racing. Tailpipe emissions primarily consist of water vapour. While not yet in competition, this technology, and the creation of specific regulations, hold the promise of shaping a sustainable and competitive future for motor sport.

CASE STUDY

Set to debut in the 2026/27 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season, the GEN4 car reflects a continued push toward lower-impact motor sport, with 600kW of power, active all-wheel drive, and advanced regenerative braking.

Designed to showcase progress in electric vehicle technology, it also highlights the role of lightweight engineering, resource efficiency, and circular design in reducing environmental impact.

GEN4 is setting new benchmarks for circular design in high-performance racing:

Designed with circularity in mind, using recyclable materials and at least 20% recycled content.

Focused on responsible sourcing across key components, including battery systems, tyres, and bodywork.

Demonstrates how innovation in motor sport can support lower environmental impact while delivering top-level performance.

ENVIRONMENTAL TOOLKITS & GUIDANCE

Supporting the transition to more sustainable motor sport and mobility requires more than ambition. It depends on practical tools, shared standards, and the ability to apply them consistently across a diverse global ecosystem.

The FIA continues to expand its portfolio of environmental guidance and toolkits to support Member Clubs, championship organisations, and partners in delivering measurable environmental improvements.

These resources are designed to translate strategy into action, providing clear frameworks, technical guidance, and practical solutions that can be applied in real-world contexts.

From environmental management and circularity to biodiversity, air quality, and climate risk, these tools reflect a broader shift towards more integrated environmental thinking. They are supported by ongoing research, collaboration with expert partners, and targeted knowledgesharing to build capability across the FIA community.

Together, they form a growing body of work that helps organisations not only manage their environmental impact, but also identify opportunities to improve performance, strengthen resilience, and contribute to wider system change across motor sport and mobility.

Key Guidance and Toolkits:

FIA Environmental Handbook

Biodiversity Assessment Tool

Air Quality Guidelines Heat Risk Management Guidelines Circularity Handbook

FIA ENVIRONMENTAL HANDBOOK

In 2025, the FIA launched its Environmental Handbook, bringing together the FIA’s sustainability resources into a single document for FIA members and championship organisations. While the FIA undertakes a wide variety of sustainability initiatives, this handbook focuses specifically on the resources available to support Member Clubs and championship organisations in implementing their own sustainability initiatives.

The handbook provides practical guidance on environmental management and highlights the resources available across the FIA community. It includes information on sustainability programmes, training opportunities, and research developments, while also providing practical advice for implementing environmental improvements.

This is supported by targeted knowledge-sharing sessions, including webinars on the Life Cycle Assessment tool, helping members build capability and apply resources in practice.

The handbook is updated twice each year to ensure it remains a practical and up-to-date resource.

ALWAYS UP TO DATE

The handbook is updated twice each uear to ensure it remains a practical amnd up-to-date resource.

FIA PROGRAMMES: Initiatives available to members and championships.

TOOLS: Practical resources to support sustainability implementation.

TRAINING: Educational materials to bullaknowledge and sills.

RESEARCH: Latest studies and outputs informing best practices.

IN DEVELOPMENT: Upcoming developments, updates, and more.

BIODIVERSITY ASSESSMENT TOOL

The FIA has expanded its approach to place greater emphasis on nature and air quality, recognising the broader environmental impacts of motor sport beyond emissions. The Biodiversity Assessment Tool reflects this shift.

Developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency and implemented by geolocation specialists Murmuration, the tool combines satellite and on-site data to generate indicators relating to biodiversity, vegetation, pollution, and noise, supporting more informed environmental decision-making for motor sport events.

The tool aims to help the events:

Better understand the potential nature-related impacts associated with their events.

Monitor changes from before, during, and after the event.

Define clear mitigation measures and restoration plans.

Improve transparency with stakeholders, sponsors, and local communities.

AIR QUALITY GUIDELINES

Air quality remains a critical public health and environmental challenge, with transport, urban activity, and large-scale events all contributing to emissions of pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and ground-level ozone.

While major events can lead to temporary, localised increases in these pollutants, they also highlight broader systemic issues linked to mobility, infrastructure, and energy use.

The FIA’s Air Quality Guidelines offer:

Helpful guidance for understanding and managing air quality impacts, especially in circuit and rally settings.

Practical steps for air quality measurement and transparent reporting.

Support for ongoing enhancements which benefit public health in host cities, in line with international guidance.

HEAT RISK MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES

As the impacts of climate change become increasingly visible at race venues around the world, the FIA introduced Heat Risk Management Guidelines in 2025.

These guidelines provide a structured framework for managing heat-related risks at motor sport events, addressing the safety and well-being of drivers, officials, volunteers, event staff, and spectators.

The guidelines outline practical measures that event organisers, medical teams, and individuals on site can implement to prevent and respond to heat-related incidents.

These include:

Monitoring on-site heat conditions using appropriate measurement tools.

Ensuring access to water for staff, officials, and fans.

Planning for cooling infrastructure where required.

Communicating heat risk policies clearly to teams and personnel.

Guidance for recognising signs of heat stress and dehydration.

Promoting simple preventative actions such as hydration, rest, and appropriate clothing for conditions.

Sustainability in motor sport is too often reduced to a discussion of tailpipe emissions and alternative fuels. While these remain important, they represent only part of the picture. The environmental impact of the sport extends far beyond the exhaust pipe, encompassing how resources are sourced, used, and recovered across the entire lifecycle of events and vehicles.

A more circular approach is therefore essential, one that prioritises efficient resource use, minimises waste, promotes reuse and recycling of materials, and protects biodiversity. The FIA is increasingly focused on embedding these principles into motor sport, ensuring that resource management and circularity receive the same level of rigour and attention.

CIRCULARITY HANDBOOK

In collaboration with McLaren Racing and Deloitte, the FIA developed the F1 Constructor’s Circularity Handbook. The handbook serves as a consistent methodology for all F1 teams and the broader motor sport community to measure the circularity of materials used in manufacturing.

By enabling teams to track both the inflow and outflow of materials, the framework supports efforts to minimise resource consumption, reduce waste, and maximise the value of materials used within the sport.

Over time, the FIA aims for this methodology to be adopted more widely across the motor sport and automotive industries.

The handbook provides:

A standardised method to measure the circularity of materials used in F1 manufacturing.

Guidance to track material inflows and outflows for better resource management.

A framework to reduce waste and improve material efficiency.

"I’m immensely proud that McLaren Racing pioneered development of the Circularity Handbook with the FIA and Deloitte; as the first team to apply it and publish our results, we’ve proven that Teams can innovate sustainably without compromising on-track performance. The FIA has an important role to play in incentivising innovation and setting standards for increased circularity across our sport.”

Kim Wilson, McLaren Racing Director of Sustainability

A basis for benchmarking and wider adoption across motor sport and automotive industries.

“Technical innovation sits at the heart of the FIA’s work to improve sustainability across motor sport and mobility. The FIA Formula One World Championship Circularity Handbook will help teams measure circularity, reduce impact, and inform future regulation and innovation.”

"The F1 Constructor’s Circularity Handbook has helped us simplify how we translate circularity across our operations. It provides a clear internal baseline that acts as a starting point against which we can measure progress, set focused improvement targets over time, and identify practical opportunities to reduce waste and make more efficient use of resources.”

Debbie Wall, Aston Martin Aramco Formula One™ Team ESG Director

ACCREDITATION & CERTIFICATION

BUILDING TRUST THROUGH INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION

Environmental credibility depends on more than ambition. It requires independent verification and measurable proof of progress. Across motor sport and mobility, organisations are increasingly expected to demonstrate not just that they have environmental commitments, but that those commitments translate into documented, auditable action.

The FIA’s accreditation and certification programmes provide the framework to do exactly that, giving Member Clubs, championships and their wider ecosystems structured, internationally recognised pathways to measure, improve, and independently verify their environmental performance.

FIA ENVIRONMENTAL ACCREDITATION PROGRAMME

Our flagship initiative in supporting credibility across the industry is the FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme (EAP). A clear and consistent set of environmental management principles, designed to support championships and Member Clubs embed sustainability into their day-to-day operations.

The programme provides stakeholders with a structured, three-level framework, against which their operations are accredited, with One- and Two-Star levels assessed through remote, document-based audits of policies and systems, and Three-Star requiring an on-site audit to verify how these are implemented in practice.

DIFFERENT LEVELS OF THE ACCREDITATION:

DOCUMENT REVIEW AUDIT

ONE-STAR

BASIC PRACTICE

Demonstrates basic environmental performance and a commitment to improve.

DOCUMENT REVIEW AUDIT TWO-STAR

GOOD PRACTICE

Demonstrates good environmental performance and is close to following internationally-developed roadmaps toward environmental management.

ON-SITE AUDIT THREE-STAR BEST PRACTICE

Demonstrates best practice and commitment to seek continual improvement through the implementation of an environmental management system.

KEY ACCREDITATION FACTORS

Based on international environmental standards, including ISO 14001, ISO 20121, and EMAS.

Adapted for motor sport and mobility stakeholders.

Designed to accommodate all FIA stakeholders.

Encouraging gradual progression through the levels.

PROGRAMME GROWTH

37% YEAR-ON-YEAR INCREASE IN ENVIRONMENTAL ACCREDITATIONS

Now in its thirteenth year, the FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme delivered its strongest results to date in 2025, recording 70 new accreditations alongside 33 renewals and nine upgrades to higher levels, a 37% increase year-on-year that reflects both the growing ambition of the FIA community and the increasing expectations placed on organisations across global sport.

A complete list of accredited organisations is available in the Appendix.

The programme reached two landmark milestones during the year:

Every permanent circuit (grade one and two) hosting an FIA World Championship event achieved a three-star accreditation.

Most FIA World Endurance Championship Hypercar teams reached the same threshold, also attaining the highest three-star rating.

These are not marginal gains, they represent a fundamental shift in how environmental management is embedded across the highest levels of the sport.

PROGRAMME GLOBAL NETWORK

Today the programme spans a global network of FIA Member Clubs and championship organisations, including ASNs (National Sporting Authorities), ACNs (National Automobile Clubs), mobility clubs, event organisers, teams, promoters, circuits, and suppliers.

The three-level accreditation framework, aligned with internationally recognised standards including ISO 14001, ISO 20121, and the EU Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), provides a consistent, and credible pathway for organisations at every stage of their environmental journey.

Independent verification is provided by BSI Group, one of the world’s leading standards and certification bodies, whose dedicated team of 12 auditors, each with regionspecific expertise and extensive sector knowledge, enable audits to be conducted across all major global regions. This partnership ensures that every accreditation carries genuine rigour and external credibility.

FIA MEMBERS’ SUSTAINABILITY SURVEY

In November 2025, the FIA conducted a global sustainability survey among its Member Clubs, with 47% engagement from a total of 245 members. The survey explored members’ priorities, their experience with the FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme, and their expectations for the future.

Results confirmed that sustainability is now firmly established as a strategic priority for most FIA members. Across all member types, there is strong agreement that motor sport and mobility organisations should play a leading role in advancing climate action and sustainable development.

The survey also highlighted the impact of the Environmental Accreditation Programme. Clubs that have achieved accreditation reported doing so to align with FIA strategy and demonstrate environmental leadership.

Responses from non-accredited members were also encouraging: 86% consider sustainability a high or moderate priority, and 59% are already implementing relevant initiatives, reflecting a strong foundation for further progress across the network.

Over 90% of respondents said accreditation had strengthened their sustainability goals, added business value, and enhanced their leadership role at national level.

SUSTAINABLE FUELS CERTIFICATION

From 2026, Formula 1 will mandate fully sustainable fuels made from biomass, renewable feedstocks, and municipal waste. To support this, the FIA and Zemo Partnership established a thirdparty certification scheme to verify fuel origin, composition, greenhouse gas performance, and full supply chain traceability.

In 2025, significant progress has been achieved, with all fuels for the 2026 Formula 1 season now approved and homologated, confirming their compliance with FIA sustainability requirements and marking a key milestone towards the full implementation of sustainable fuels in the championship.

INFLUENCING THE FUTURE

USING INFLUENCE TO ACCELERATE CHANGE

The FIA serves as the governing body of world motor sport and a Federation uniting sport and mobility organisations from 149 countries. This global footprint positions the FIA at the centre of a diverse ecosystem, connecting Member Clubs, championships, manufacturers, and public institutions around shared sustainability priorities. It enables alignment at scale, setting direction, and creating the conditions for consistent progress across regions and disciplines.

Updated COA guidance introduced, effective January 2026.

MOTOR SPORT IN A BOX

In 2025, the FIA strengthened its support for grassroots motor sport through practical tools and initiatives designed to widen participation and build local capability across its global network.

At the centre of this is Motor Sport in a Box, the FIA’s low-cost toolkit enabling Member Clubs around the world to organise accessible, low-cost motor sport events, where competitors can use their own standard road vehicles.

Proven to be an effective entry point in regions with limited infrastructure, the initiative lowers barriers to participation and makes motor sport more visible at the community level. A significant upgrade was announced in 2025, with timekeeping equipment to be introduced from 2026, improving event quality while enabling more structured grassroots competition.

Its impact is already visible. In the Cayman Islands, local clubs have used the toolkit to transform public spaces into safe, inclusive competition environments, creating opportunities for first-time participants and broadening the range of people engaging with the sport.

Following evaluation, 10 projects were approved for implementation in 2025. These included Motor Sport in a Box initiatives in Tanzania and North Macedonia, supporting the development of grassroots motor sport capabilities within local FIA Member Club communities.

FIA AFFORDABLE CROSS CAR PROJECT

The FIA Affordable Cross Car Project is a grassroots initiative, designed as a practical model for expanding the development of accessible entry points into motor sport, by promoting cost-effective vehicle construction platforms and competition formats.

The project aims to strengthen the pathway from grassroots participation to higher levels of competition, while supporting local skills development and manufacturing capability, ensuring that opportunity in motor sport is not defined by geography or resources, but by potential.

The initiative provides Member Clubs with blueprints containing comprehensive manufacturing, assembly, purchasing, consulting, and setup documents, enabling them to construct Cross Cars using locally-sourced materials.

Following its unveiling in Kigali in 2024, the project moved into implementation across multiple regions:

At Safari Rally Kenya, it was showcased on a national stage, where a car built in just one month by students at IPRC Polytechnic demonstrated the potential for local production at a target price of $5,000.

In India, plans are underway for a national Affordable Cross Car Championship, supported by locally developed vehicles and emerging technical frameworks.

In Sri Lanka, the project has been adopted as a foundation for off-road development, enabling both entry-level participation and progression into competitive racing.

In 2025, Cross Car initiatives were approved through the FIA President’s Development Fund in Armenia, Georgia, Peru, and Egypt, supporting the introduction of affordable motor sport pathways and strengthening grassroots participation in these regions.

SUPPORTING PROGRESSION

Supporting the progression of talented individuals focuses on what happens next, ensuring that those who have entered the industry have the support, networks, and opportunities they need to develop and advance.

Across scholarships, competitive pathways, professional networks, and accessibility initiatives, the FIA works with ASNs, championship promoters, teams, and industry partners to support long-term progression.

These initiatives expand access to FIA championships and international competition and ensure that individuals from diverse backgrounds are supported as they move through the sport.

FIA CIK ACADEMY TROPHY

WOMEN IN MOTORSPORT REPRESENTATION

The FIA Karting Academy Trophy provides one of the most recognised international development platforms for young racing drivers, bringing together competitors from more than 40 countries to race identical karts and compete on equal terms.

In 2025, the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission supported two female drivers to compete in the Academy Trophy, representing both the Junior and newly introduced Senior categories. The initiative forms part of the Commission’s wider commitment to strengthening female representation across the karting development pathway. Emma-Rose Dowling of South Africa competed in the

UNITED AGAINST ONLINE ABUSE (UAOA)

United Against Online Abuse (UAOA) , the FIA-led global coalition, was founded by H.E. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA, in 2023 to address online abuse in sport. The coalition continued to expand its influence and engagement across the motor sport community and wider sporting ecosystem in 2025, welcoming over 10 new endorsements from across sport, academia, technology, and government, and bringing the total to over 70 partners.

During the inaugural FIA Officials Summit in Madrid, UAOA engaged more than 200 international and regional stewards and surveyed over 150 officials to better understand their experiences of online abuse. Insights from this work are informing the development of digital literacy resources and safeguarding tools designed to support officials and volunteers.

UAOA also expanded its work with drivers and teams across the FIA’s Formula Championships. A digital literacy workshop delivered during the British Grand Prix brought together Formula 2 and Formula 3 drivers and teams to raise awareness of online abuse in sport, and to highlight the wider impact of public criticism of officials and decisions.

The initiative also published the second edition of the UAOA Online Abuse Barometer, enabling international sports Federations to track how perceptions of online abuse are evolving year to year. The research showed growing awareness of the issue and improved understanding of the different forms of abuse affecting athletes, officials, and volunteers.

In addition, the UAOA Coalition convened its second annual conference in Stockholm, bringing together stakeholders from sport, academia, technology, and government to share best practice and strengthen collaboration on tackling online abuse.

Education was a key focus in 2025, as the initiative’s ERASMUS programme commenced, co-funded by the European Union, bringing together FIA Member Clubs and academic institutions to advance research, capacity building and collaboration on online abuse. Alongside this, UAOA launched a multi-year research collaboration with the University of Notre Dame’s Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society in the United States.

Through education, research, and global collaboration, UAOA continues to position the FIA as a leader in addressing one of the most significant emerging risks facing athletes, officials, and sports organisations.

OPERATIONS

CARBON MANAGEMENT

OVERVIEW

We have calculated our carbon footprint since 2019 in line with the GHG Protocol, covering all three scopes across our headquarters, events, championships, and financed supplier activities. Scope 3 includes energyrelated emissions, purchased goods and services, capital goods, waste, transport, business travel, and employee commuting.

As in previous years, our 2025 footprint was reviewed under the ISO140643:2019 standard by Global Climate Initiatives.

In 2024, we expanded organisational boundaries to include previously unaccounted sources and improved data collection, updating our baseline from 2019 to 2022 for greater accuracy.

DECARBONISATION

2025 RESULTS AND KEY DRIVERS

In 2025, the FIA’s carbon footprint increased by 16% compared with the previous reporting year, from 24,445.92 tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2024 to 28,337.26 tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2025.

This increase reflects a combination of factors, including the expansion of the organisation, the opening of a new office in London, increased participation at FIA events, and a higher level of business travel. It also reflects the reality that the FIA is a global Federation with a footprint shaped not only by its own operations, but also by activities it influences through engagement, logistics, mobility choices, and partnerships.

At the same time, this result should be understood in context. The FIA continued to make progress in several areas under its direct control, particularly in logistics, where emissions were reduced by 2% through operational improvements such as more efficient calendars and the use of hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) with our global logistics partner DHL. We further limited the impact of our logistics footprint by 22% through the ramp-up of our investments in Sustainable Aviation Fuels.

These are important gains and show that targeted action can deliver measurable reductions. However, these reductions were more than offset by increases elsewhere in the footprint, especially in business travel for staff and visitors attending FIA events, such as conferences, regional meetings, and general assemblies.

The rise in the footprint does not mean progress has stopped. Rather, it shows that the organisation has grown in ways that have outpaced the reductions achieved in some areas. It also reflects the fact that not all emissions are directly controlled, reinforcing the need for a more targeted and differentiated response.

The 2025 results highlight the importance of separating different parts of the organisation’s footprint. FIA events are not the same as race operations, and the drivers of emissions are not identical. The growth in attendance at FIA events is positive from an engagement perspective, but it also has implications for travel emissions. Similarly, changes in the event calendar may have helped reduce some freight activity, but these effects do not alter the broader picture: the overall footprint has increased and requires a stronger strategic response.

DECARBONISATION

EVOLVING OUR APPROACH

The FIA’s sustainability strategy, developed to guide the 2020–2030 period, set out an ambitious direction for the Federation and the wider ecosystem. However, progress has varied across areas, with some goals remaining a challenge within the current operating model, making it clear that ambition alone is not enough. Delivering meaningful reductions now requires stronger governance, sharper prioritisation, and a clearer focus on the levers that are genuinely within our control or influence.

In that sense, 2026 represents an opportunity to evolve our approach: a chance to reflect on what has been learned, and re-anchor our work around the priorities, resources, and levers that will allow us to deliver greater impact going forwards.

We are therefore revisiting our sustainability strategy to ensure that the next phase of our work is more operationally grounded, more measurable, and better aligned to how our

Federation functions today. We want to be more explicit about where we can drive direct environmental impact, where we can influence change across the Federation and its activities, and where we need to work through collaboration with others to create lasting impact. This reflects the FIA’s role as a Federation, not only to reduce its own footprint, but also to enable others to reduce theirs. It highlights the need to drive lower-carbon choices across motor sport and mobility, by encouraging better decisions on logistics, travel, events, procurement, and collaboration across the ecosystem.

The FIA has also strengthened its internal capacity in 2026 by recruiting seven subject matter experts to work full time on sustainability issues. This investment reflects a clear recognition that delivering meaningful change requires dedicated expertise, sustained focus, and stronger execution. It supports this next phase of work and reinforces our ability to deliver more targeted outcomes.

LOOKING AHEAD

This distinction between control and influence will define how the FIA targets its efforts. We will continue to address the full scope of our emissions, strengthening action where we have direct control and improving the way we influence those we do not, while embedding sustainability more deeply into decision-making across the organisation.

Accountability remains ours, but the mechanisms for change differ depending on the source of emissions.

We remain committed to net zero by 2040 (90% reduction and 10% removal) and to a 50% absolute emissions reduction by 2030, compared to our 2022 baseline. Our net zero pathway has been developed in alignment with ISO Net Zero Guidelines, which require emissions reductions to be science-based, transparent, and independently verifiable, and we will continue to review our progress against these standards.

Greater emphasis will also be placed on improving the quality, consistency, and scope of data through closer collaboration with partners, building a stronger evidence base for future decisions.

The priority now is on delivering this with greater consistency, clarity, and measurable impact.

2040

Cut absolute emissions by 90% compared to our 2022 baseline and purchase removal carbon credits to counterbalance residual emissions.

INVESTMENT IN SUSTAINABLE AVIATION FUEL

In collaboration with Formula 1, the FIA continues to advance the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as part of its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its operations. This initiative forms an important part of the FIA’s broader decarbonisation approach and represents a practical step toward lowering logisticsrelated emissions within motor sport.

Our progress is part of a wider journey. The FIA will continue its efforts in 2026 and beyond, building on progress to date and identifying further opportunities to invest in SAF and reduce its operational footprint. As the FIA strengthens its emissions reduction approach, SAF will remain one of several measures supporting a more efficient, lowerimpact operating model.

Note: SAF certificates provide a transparent basis for reporting and are subject to assurance. SAF are not a permanent removal solution, so SAF certificates must be procured each year.

DECARBONISATION

HOW IS THE FIA USING SAF

In 2025, the FIA expanded its investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), reinforcing the role this solution plays in reducing the environmental impact of its operations. While SAF is not a substitute for long-term structural emissions reductions, it is an important nearterm lever supporting meaningful progress across the organisation’s logistics footprint. The increased use of SAF certificates helped reduce reported emissions and demonstrate the value of sustained investment in this area.

In 2025, this initiative resulted in an estimated reduction of 1,268.93 tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions, representing approximately 4.48% of the FIA’s total emissions and 22.42% of logistics-related emissions.

While overall emissions increased in 2025, reflecting operational growth, the expanded use of SAF helped reduce the footprint associated with logistics and limit that increase. This reinforces the value of SAF as a practical near-term measure within the FIA’s decarbonisation efforts.

Total Emissions Trend (tCO2e)

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

As well as our investments in SAF, we have continued to seek emissions reductions across operations in our more direct control.

We have done this by developing a comprehensive environmental management system that embeds sustainability into our daily operations, major events, and long-term strategy.

This system covers a broad range of activities, including:

Headquarters operations: energy-saving measures; improved waste management; use of sustainable office supplies.

Conferences and events: responsible venue selection; reduced printed materials; promotion of reusable or recyclable items.

Business travel and logistics: encouraging virtual meetings; low emission transport; carbon footprint monitoring.

Procurement practices: favouring suppliers / products with stronger environmental standards and lower impact.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT

ISO 14001 CERTIFICATION

Our ISO 14001-certified environmental management system continues to provide the framework for managing our environmental impacts in a structured and consistent way.

In 2025, we have focused on strengthening operational controls, embedding environmental considerations across our activities, and maintaining a clear line of sight from policy to performance.

The changes to be integrated in 2026 for the updated ISO 14001 standard introduces stronger requirements around climate, change management, and supply chain oversight.

These developments will be integrated into our environmental management system over time, shaping the next phase of our sustainability measurement and performance approach.

FIA DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

EMBEDDING CHANGE IN OUR OPERATIONS

In 2025, the FIA continued to strengthen how diversity and inclusion are embedded within its operations. This is reflected in a workforce that is increasingly international, more balanced, and more representative of the global community the FIA serves.

With 308 permanent employees across 38 nationalities, the FIA operates as a truly global organisation. This diversity supports broader perspectives in decision-making, strengthens cultural awareness, and ensures the organisation reflects the communities connected to motor sport and mobility worldwide.

Gender representation stands at 31% women and 69% men, with continued progress in the representation of women at leadership level. This reflects more consistent recruitment practices, clearer progression pathways, and a growing focus on leadership diversity.

The organisation also benefits from a balanced workforce across career stages. With an average age of 42, and strong representation across early, mid and senior levels (46% of women at the FIA are in senior roles), this mix supports knowledge transfer, continuity, and the development of future leadership.

FIA DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

ADVANCING GENDER EQUITY THROUGH

EDGE CERTIFICATION

EDGE (Economic Dividends for Gender Equality) Certification is a globally recognised standard for assessing gender equity within organisations. It provides an externally verified, data-driven framework covering representation, pay equity, career progression, leadership, and employee experience.

For the FIA, EDGE Certification acts as a mechanism for measuring progress and ensuring accountability. It enables benchmarking against international standards and supports a consistent, structured approach to advancing gender equity across the organisation.

The FIA first achieved EDGE Assess (Level 1) in 2021, following an independent review of its policies, practices, and employee data. In 2023, the organisation progressed to EDGE Move (Level 2), reflecting measurable improvements in representation, pay equity management, and inclusive workplace practices. This level has been maintained through 2025.

Participation in EDGE has supported:

- More balanced representation, including continued progress at leadership level.

- Structured pay equity analysis, improving transparency and consistency.

- Clearer career pathways and flexible working practices, supporting progression across different life stages.

- Greater accountability, with inclusion embedded into leadership and management processes.

We are committed to sustainable procurement practices and we are engaging suppliers in applying our approach.

Sustainability criteria are included in the selection process at all key stages of the procurement process:

- Expressing the needs for purchased products/services.

- The original tender sent to all bidders.

- The evaluation system where sustainability criteria usually represent 10-20% of the final score.

- The supplier contract.

Due diligence is conducted for all suppliers in order to ensure their compliance with the FIA Standard Code for Suppliers. In addition, for every key supplier, an analysis of environmental topics is conducted to identify any potential environmental issues.

GRI 305 GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

RE-STATEMENT OF GHG INVENTORIES FOR YEAR 2022, 2023, 2024, AND 2025 TCO2E

NOTE ON RE-STATEMENT: As part of its continuous improvement approach, the FIA initiated in the summer of 2025 an audit of its 2024 carbon disclosure verified by Global Climate Initiatives. Following an initial verification phase of the carbon reporting previously carried out by the organisation, several adjustments were made to past declarations to ensure greater consistency with the methodology currently in place. These changes are notably driven by the ongoing update of the emission factors used, derived from the French Base Carbone® and the UK BEIS DEFRA database. As a result, reported emissions have significantly changed over previous years. In addition, the FIA has expanded the scope of its organisational boundaries to include emission sources that were previously unaccounted for, as part of an improved data collection process. These methodological developments have led the organisation to update its baseline year - from 2019 to 2022 - in order to more accurately reflect the actual GHG emissions associated with its activities. BREAKDOWN

APPENDIX

CARBON INTENSITY PER EMPLOYEE

As well as an increase in absolute emissions, carbon intensity per employee also increased year on year although the rise was lower than the increase in absolute emissions (3.8% from 2024 to 2025 vs 16%).

This suggests that the Federation’s footprint is growing faster than efficiency improvements are offsetting it, but it also gives a clearer view of underlying performance as the FIA expands.

Looking ahead, it shows that managing emissions per employee will be just as important as reducing total emissions especially if activity and headcount continue to grow.

CARBON TRAJECTORY

Note: From 2024, the FIA decided not to invest in offsetting programmes in order to prioritise direct emission-reduction initiatives and investment in Sustainable Aviation Fuel. The FIA is currently assessing its future strategy for carbon offsetting and removal.
