WorldSBK enters global top 10 in Sustainable Championships Index

There has been an important milestone for WorldSBK, as it enters the top 10 in the Sustainable Championships Index™

During FIM Sustainability Week, WorldSBK is also celebrating its recent inclusion among the Top 10 most sustainable motorsport championships worldwide in the 2026 Sustainable Championships Index™ (SChI™), marking an important milestone in the Championship’s sustainability development. 
 
Published annually by Enovation Consulting, the index evaluates 89 international two and four-wheel championships across 25 environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. 
 
The 2026 edition identified WorldSBK as one of the most improved championships in the rankings, with the Championship rising from 18th place in the previous edition to enter the global Top 10 for the first time. 
 
The recognition reflects progress achieved across recent seasons to further integrate sustainability into the Championship’s operational structure, event management processes and collaboration with teams, partners and circuits throughout the paddock. 
 
In its report, the SChI™ specifically highlighted WorldSBK’s achievement of ISO 20121 certification for sustainable event management and ISO 45001 certification for occupational health and safety management. 
 
Stefano Pacchioli, WorldSBK Executive Board Member, said: “Being recognised among the top 10 most sustainable championships globally confirms that we are moving in the right direction. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important part of how WorldSBK is governed and developed, in line with our ambition as a top-tier championship. This recognition reflects the collective efforts carried out across the Championship in recent years alongside our teams, partners, circuits and stakeholders to continue evolving our approach in a structured and measurable way.” 
 
Throughout FIM Sustainability Week, WorldSBK will also spotlight a number of projects and operational developments introduced across the paddock by teams and partners contributing to the Championship’s broader sustainability objectives.

About the FIM Sustainability Week 
The FIM Sustainability Week is the Federation’s flagship initiative for promoting global awareness and action across the three dimensions of sustainability, with a strong emphasis on environmental and social responsibility within the motorcycling family. The initiative was formally approved by the FIM Board of Directors in February 2021. In 2026, the initiative takes on renewed meaning through a more organic, people‑centred approach, rooted in what truly defines us: our community. At the heart of this year’s campaign is the FIM family - its members, stakeholders, and partners - and the collective impact that can be achieved when we act together. Reflecting the global call to act #NowForClimate, the FIM Sustainability Week highlights that meaningful change is driven not only through our events and championships, but also through the everyday choices made in every household of the FIM family. Each action counts. Together, through shared responsibility and collective effort, we can act now and contribute to a more sustainable future.
