The FIM is committed to caring for the environment and created its International Environment Commission (CIE) to enforce this policy. The adoption of the first FIM Environmental Code dates back to 1994. This document, whose latest  version was adopted at the end of 2009, is updated every year by the CIE and is an essential tool for national affiliated federations and other organisers of FIM events.

This Code prescribes regulations and recommendations to improve the relationship between motorcycling and the environment and promotes sustainable events.

These regulations and recommendations refer in particular to:

1) noise, fuel, protection of the ground and cleaning issues
2) behaviour and activities of the spectators, organisers, circuit/track managers, race participants and road users
3) duties for CIE Delegates and Environmental Stewards

The International Environment Commission (CIE)

It shall deal with all matters relating to environmental protection and shall establish close co-operation with all sporting and extra-sporting Commissions as well as with the Panels. It shall advise the CdD on all steps which it feels ought to be taken in this area.

UNEP

The Memorandum of Cooperation between the FIM and the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP) signed in December 2006, was extended for two more years last October in Alicante (Spain), during the Global Forum for Sport and Environment.
This memorandum has the objective to provide a framework to cooperate and support aiming at reducing the environmental impact of motorcycle events. The collaboration between the FIM and UNEP will continue in order to promote and support the monitoring of environmental programmes in the preparation and staging of FIM events.
