KiSS Misano doubles up: two MotoGP™ races and a double commitment to environmental and social sustainability
3 September 2024 - Double MotoGPTM, a double edition of KiSS Misano-Keep it Shiny and Sustainable, the environmental and social sustainability program promoted by MWC Marco Simoncelli as part of its Misano Green Circuit project, the International Motorcycling Federation (FIM), Dorna and IRTA, will be active at both the Gran Premio Red Bull di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini (Sept. 6-8) and the Gran Premio dell’Emilia-Romagna (Sept. 20-22) of MotoGPTM.
COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Modern and technological, MWC is a circuit that has been investing in sustainability for many years now. The facility has a quality system that complies with the requirements of UNI EN ISO 9001:2008 standard for quality management and UNI EN ISO 20121:2013 standard for sustainable event management, an Organization, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/01, and a Code of Ethics. It also obtained FIA Environmental Accreditation 3 Star. MWC was the first circuit in Italy to equip itself with a photovoltaic system, built above the roof of the covered grandstands: the system produces 540,000 Kw per year of zero-CO2 emission electricity. In recent years, interventions have been made to contain noise and reduce electricity consumption (-30%) of the lighting system. In 2023, the Circuit was honored with the FIM Environment Trophy; the award to the circuit in the world that has distinguished itself most for activities aimed at limiting its impact on the environment.
"Major international events - says Andrea Albani, Managing Director MWC - are a formidable accelerator in spreading messages about environmental savings and inclusion. With KiSS Misano we started a path that over the years has landed at the contents of Misano Green Circuit and the sharing with all the protagonists of MotoGP, on the grandstands and in the paddock, of gestures and behaviors that feed a new and responsible culture."
