Fagioli (Italian Motocross Pro ).
Giovanni Copioli, IMF President: “Environmental sustainability is a very topical issue that the Italian Motorcycle Federation considers of the utmost importance for all its activities. I therefore thank the Misano World Circuit for its profuse commitment to putting actions and projects into practice which have given excellent results from this point of view. I also applaud all the organizers who have shown sensitivity on this issue, which is crucial for the future of motorcycling. Already today there are really numerous Moto Clubs, organizers and members capable of adopting actions aimed at safeguarding the environment and I am sure that in the future this sensitivity will grow further”.
Luca Colaiacovo, President of Santa Monica SpA: “We are proud of the recognition of the IMF which, with its authoritative Commission, has taken over the activity of MWC of the activities aimed at the environmental sustainability of its business. In recent months we have earned the ISO 2021 certification from TÜV SÜD for the sustainable management system of events, the only motorsport facility in Italy accredited by the prestigious body, in addition to the FIA Three Stars. They are not goals, but stages of a journey started in recent years together with the entire motorsport system and which involves all the players and in particular the whole circuit team who make it possible with sensitivity and skills. We will continue with commitment to develop new actions already this year, with an ever sensitive attention to the territory”.
