A bit of history… A formal Code was approved in 1994 during the FIM Congress in Kuala Lumpur and became the first of its kind to be adopted by an international sports federation. The Code was subsequently adopted by the Continental Unions.
The FIM Environmental Code is a constantly evolving document, updated every year by the FIM Sustainability Commission working group. All updates are based on observations made by Environmental Stewards during competitions, organisers, sporting commission members and FIM sustainability commission's delegates .
These officials are appointed by the host national federations and their job is to ensure that the Code is complied with at every event. Using checklists, the Stewards report any anomalies or good practices that occur during the competition to the clerk of the course and the FIM.
The constant evolution of the Code, based on a policy of continuous improvement, means that the events are run with effective regulations that reflect the latest thinking.
Over time, the Code has been brought in line with part of the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals that focus on sustainable development, and it contains articles that relate to the fight against climate change.
