UIM President, Dr. Raffaele Chiulli said:

“The Health of Our Planet is under threat and we all have to adopt more environmental friendly practices. I am delighted by the support our new Green Partner, ALENS, is offering the UIM for drawing up an Environmental Strategy. Their expertise is critical for defining the good practices to be implemented in our Sport and this will also benefit our Member Federations.”

The UIM will count on the support of ALENS in achieving the “carbon neutral” status of its two main institutional events, the UIM Awards Gala and the annual General Assembly.
At competition level, the new “Green Partner” of the UIM will elaborate guidelines for quantifying the impact of the Sport on the environment and its progressive reduction.
