Being an International Federation revolving around horses, it goes without saying thatr it is in our best interest to encourage and help develop an increasingly sustainable environment at equestrian events.

This handbook aims to encourage event organisers to implement verious sustainability initiatives that will help reduce negative environmental impact and create a positive legacy

This report aims to raise awareness of climate change and all it threatens, and encourage people to show their support for action to address it.

The FIA Environmental Accreditation Programme is aimed at helping motor sport and mobility stakeholders worldwide to measure and enhance their environmental performance. By introducing a clear and consistent environmental management system, it provides stakeholders with a three-level framework against which to accredit their activities.
It is organised around three levels:

1. One-Star – Basic practice: Demonstrate basic environmental performance and a commitment to improve
2. Two-Star – Good practice: Demonstrate good environmental performance and be close to follow internationally developed roadmaps toward environmental management
3. Three-Star – Best practice: Demonstrate best practice and commitment to seek continual improvement through the implementation of an environmental management system
   For any questions, please contact the FIA Sustainability team at afe@fia.com

PROCESS
It is recommended that FIA stakeholders wishing to obtain the accreditation start by filling in the Initial Evaluation Form, allowing the FIA Sustainability team to evaluate the current environmental performance and advise on next steps.
Following a first meeting with the FIA Sustainability team, the FIA Environmental Accreditation programme: Self-Assessment Tool should be used in support to these guidelines in order to implement the different recommendations and achieve the targeted level of accreditation.

Once the organisation is ready to be audited, the Formal Application Form should be completed and returned to afe@fia.com for review. A remote (One-Star, Two-Star) or on-site (Three-Star) audit will then be planned in order to finalise the accreditation process.
Following the audit process, an official certificate will be issued, including potential key recommendations for improvement and next audit date.

The Olympic Winter Games have been held every four years since 1924, with the most recent edition taking place in PyeongChang, South Korea in February 2018. In recent years, we have witnessed a drastic effect on winter sports resulting in delays, cancellations and venue changes due to weather inconsistency.

This project focuses on the impacts and risks of climate change and explores its potential effects on winter sports in the future, specifically on the Olympic programme. Outlined below were the objectives for the research involved.

All companies have a responsibility to respect human rights when they carry out their business. The UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights guide companies in how to meet their responsibilities, and due diligence is a critical component.

This tool, "Sport, Broadcasting and Human Rights - Guiding Questions", is intended to help broadcasters identify and, if necessary, mitigate any potential human rights impacts that may occur when broadcasting a sporting event. It builds on the White Paper "Broadcasters and Human Rights in the Sports Context", which identified potential risks to people and their rights arising from broadcasting a sporting event. 

This tool can be used alongside existing planning and risk processes, such as health and safety assessments, and is intended to be practical, flexible, and to help identify ways to address the particular risks identified.

This report outlines the ongoing results of monitoring and reporting of the UIAA's carbon footprint, which is in response to our signed commitment in early 2019 and participation under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Sports for Climate Action.

Sponsors have a responsibility, within their own operations and throughout their supply chains, to respect human rights. Sporting events are no different from any other business relationship in terms of needing to proactively take account of potential human rights risks.

'Sport, Sponsorship and Human Rights - Guiding Questions' is a tool intended to prompt the identification of issues to consider at the earliest stages of developing a sport sponsorship relationship, and in the sponsor agreement itself. Building on the white paper on ‘Sponsors and Human Rights in the Sports Context’, these questions should help sponsors consider how they might create effective leverage to address human rights risks throughout the lifetime of the sponsorship.
