Environmental sustainability is one of the main pillars on which we should build the growth of motorsport and future of mobility.

I invite you to read this first progress report that highlights our efforts since the adoption of the strategy and the direction in which we are heading. Our ambition is to reinforce our position in major developments of sustainable innovations and continually impact positively sustainability agenda of motorsport and mobility.

Mohammed Ben Sulayem FIA President In December 2020, the FIA pledged to reduce its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030, in line with the Paris Agreement on climate change, with the ultimate goal to achieve net- zero carbon by removing any residual emissions from 2030. For the last 18 months, the FIA has been working towards the realisation of these ambitious goals, while engaging mobility and sports clubs. This report explains what actions have been taken and shows the progress achieved against short- to medium- term targets. Now, more than ever, we need to concentrate on enabling all our stakeholders to contribute to global climate action.
