2026 Sustainable Championship Index
Enovation Consulting, in collaboration with Professor Paolo Taticchi, Professor of Strategy and Sustainability at UCL School of Management, has released the fifth edition of the Sustainable Championships Index™ (SChI™).
The 2026 SChI™ assesses the sustainability performance of 89 four-wheeled and two wheeled motorsport championships and is based on 25 carefully calibrated sustainability performance criteria across six dimensions of sustainability: Certifications; Accreditations & Awards; Environmental Criteria; Social Criteria; Sustainability Approach; Engagement & Partnerships.
Top Performers Revealed
The fifth edition of the SChI™ highlights continued leadership in sustainability among global motorsport championships. The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship retains its position at the top of the podium, followed by the FIA Formula One World Championship in second place. The FIM MotoGP World Championship rises to third, with Extreme E & H in fourth position and the FIA World Rally Championship continues its upward trajectory, moving into the top five, up from eighth place in 2024. Biggest Movers
Several championships demonstrated notable progress in 2025, including the FIM Bajas World Cup (+17 places), FIA World Endurance Championship (+12 places), and Repco Supercars Championship (+11 places).
Overall, 30 championships improved their scores, up from 26 in 2024, signalling growing engagement with structured sustainability action. While 59 championships remained at the same score, progress remains uneven across the sector. Encouragingly, only 14 championships now sit on zero points, and two additional championships scored for the first time, demonstrating that previously unengaged championships are beginning to kickstart their sustainability journeys.
Dr. Cristiana Pace, Founder and CEO of Enovation Consulting, said: “The fifth edition of the Sustainable Championships Index™ demonstrates how far motorsport has come in integrating sustainability. What began as a way to benchmark and highlight best practices is now a tool that inspires action across the sector. It’s encouraging to see more championships engaging with environmental, social, and governance initiatives, and to witness innovative approaches emerging year after year. Sustainability is no longer a footnote: it’s becoming a core part of the sport’s performance and impact.”
