The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has unveiled its 2025 Sustainability and Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) report, detailing substantial progress in motorsport and mobility. The report highlights the FIA's efforts to enhance environmental sustainability and foster a more inclusive environment globally.

Key achievements include the expansion of the FIA's Environmental Accreditation Programme, which now boasts over 260 accredited organisations—a 37% year-on-year increase. The FIA also increased sustainability grants by 24% to $360,000 (€340,000), supporting projects focused on emissions reduction and biodiversity. Additionally, the approval of the first technical and safety regulations for liquid hydrogen-powered vehicles marks a historic step towards low-carbon competition.

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem emphasised the importance of diversity, stating, "Our diversity is our strength. We will continue to innovate, strengthen frameworks, and raise standards."

The report also notes a 16% increase in absolute emissions, attributed to increased staffing and a new London office. However, logistics-related emissions decreased by 2%, aided by HVO-powered DHL lorries, and the overall logistics footprint was reduced by 22% through investments in Sustainable Aviation Fuels.

The inaugural FIA Karting Arrive & Drive World Cup exemplified progress in diversity, featuring over 100 competitors from 50 nations, including a record 15 female drivers. Furthermore, women comprised 31% of the FIA's workforce in 2025, with nearly half in senior roles, reflecting ongoing gender equity advancements.

The report underscores the FIA's commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and enabling others to do the same, reinforcing the need for strategic, lower-carbon choices in motorsport and mobility
