This year’s FIM Sustainability Week gets under way with the publication of the FIM Sustainability Report 2025 that marks the end of the 2021-2025 ‘The Future in Pole Position’ strategic period – a time of consolidation, implementation and reflection – and signals a new phase when the experience gained over the past five years will be used as the basis for a more structured and ambitious approach to the challenges that lie ahead.

Sustainability has become an increasingly fundamental consideration in relation to FIM activities over the last thirty years and this Sustainability Report is an important tool to ensure a thorough evaluation of the current situation while providing a clearer understanding of both impact and limitations and helping to determine necessary future actions.
There is a tendency to link sustainability solely with environmental and climate issues, but the FIM recognises that sustainability is also about considering other diverse factors including safety, education, people and inclusion to find solutions to safeguard the long-term future of its disciplines.
This year’s report is divided into five main sections – Introduction, Environmental, Social, Ecosystem, and Looking Ahead – and covers the FIM’s sustainability activities for the calendar year 2025, representing the final report aligned with the Sustainability Strategy 2021-2025.
It details several important initiatives, overseen by the FIM International Sustainability Commission (CID) with efforts from all areas of the FIM, including the continued growth of the KiSS (Keep it Shiny and Sustainable) Programme and the submission of the FIM Climate Strategy white paper and executive summary to the Strategic Committee. Education remained central through the FIM Academy while the FIM Women Commission (CFM) continued to translate its Equal Gender Opportunities Recommendations into practical action.
Emphasising the important role of promoters, organisers, the National Federations and Continental Unions in delivering sustainability, the report also highlights the work of the FIM Touring and Leisure Commission (CTL) and the continued collaboration with the FIA to align standards and share action on safer sporting environments.
Jorge Viegas, FIM President, stated: “Sustainability is increasingly being managed as a key part of the
FIM processes – linked to governance, operational delivery and long-term decision-making. This is essential in a sport as global and diverse as ours, where progress depends on alignment across many different factors and contexts. At the heart of this work remains a simple objective – to ensure that motorcycling can continue to exist, evolve and be accessible for future generations. This means addressing environmental challenges, but also supporting education, inclusion and the wider development of our sport.
“The next phase of our strategy will build on this foundation. It will require greater coordination, stronger partnerships and a continued commitment to integrating sustainability into every part of our organisation.”
Francoise Emery, FIM CEO, added: “Sustainability has become more clearly connected to the way our sport operates. It is not separate from sport, it supports sport. What encourages me most is the alignment I see across the organisation. Our commissions are not working separately from sport; they are supporting it. Whether the focus is technical, medical, environmental, educational or social, the direction is increasingly shared. Motorcycling must remain exciting, competitive and accessible, while continuing to show responsibility towards riders, communities and the wider world.”
