A Sustainable 6DAYS

• The Director of the CID
• The CID Delegate
• The FMP Sustainability Steward
• The FIM Sound Control Officer

As part of its long-standing commitment to reducing the environmental impact of motorcyclesport, the FIM has developed and continuously strengthened its sound control programme across all disciplines.

Through strict technical regulations,advanced measurement protocols, specialised training for Sound Control Officers, and ongoing monitoring initiatives, the FIM seeks to minimise noiseemissions while maintaining sportingintegrity and safeguarding the well-being of local communities, event staff, participants, and wildlife.

FIM motorcycle sound measurement specialists perform technical inspections on all participants’ motorcycles, including decibel measurements, using advancedequipment and measurement methods. The event counts on an experienced SoundControl Officer (SCO) and/or an acoustic engineer, if applicable. Additionally, Exhaust pipes and silencers must fulfil all the requirements concerning soundcontrol (art 1.79 AND 1.31 Enduro ISDE technical rules).

 The paddock sound system is also regulated and adequate to minimise impact. Minimise noise from competition, support, and organisation vehicles, with monitoring todetect when allowable limits are exceeded and to prevent harm to human healthand/or local wildlife. The acoustic impact of the event will be assessedby positioning six remote continuous noise monitoring units throughout theentire race period, located around the course. In addition to the noise matrix,there is also continuous monitoring of the atmospheric component during theevent, through a remote monitoring matter, CO, NOX, and SO2.

‍

The event features a curated selection of routes that meet the demands of local authorities while respecting protected places.

Local authorities will be coordinating to restrict access to the protected areas.

Designated spectator areas have been established to enhance safety and protect the sensitive areas of the event.

Safeguarding biodiversity and preserving the integrity of the terrainare central to the environmental strategy of 6DAYS® Portugal 2026. The event is designed to minimise ecological disruption through a series of targeted measures that prioritise sensitive habitats and responsible land use

• Sensitive Area Exclusion: Trails and paths identified as ecologically sensitive areexcluded from timed and competitive stages. This ensures that vulnerable floraand fauna are not disturbed by event activities. Absoluteprohibition of circulation outside the marked route and cutting of vegetation.Restriction of the race to the daytime period.Topographic restoration and useof geotextiles to prevent erosion. Integration with the native re forestation initiative "Adopt a tree".

• Fauna and Flora Protection Plan: A dedicated conservation plan is in place forthe start, finish, and service areas, focusing on minimising human impact and preserving local ecosystems. Detailed information in the Events Managemen tPlan.

• Wastewater Management: All wastewater generated by caravans and paddock operations is collected and treated at a designated facility within the venuegrounds, preventing contamination of natural water sources

• "ProtectedDunes & Living Montado" Campaign: Pedagogical actions explaining the exclusion of dune zones and the importance of the Cork Oak ecosystem and avifauna.

• Soil Restoration Commitment: Any soil altered during the event will be restored to its original condition, ensuring long-term land health and usability

• Spill Prevention Protocols: Staff handling oils, fuels, and other hazardous substances are trained in spill prevention and emergency response to avoid ground contamination.

‍

An Environmental Map is available via the sporting application and at the event secretary’s office, providing clear guidance on protected zones and sustainability protocols.

• Environmental Mats: All participantsmust use FIM-approved environmental mats in the Parc Fermé, control points, andrefuelling areas to prevent soil pollution. The event’s supplementary regulations outline specific conditions. To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the ISDE, the Organising Committee has produced aspecial limited-edition environmental mat featuring the official Centenarybranding. These commemorative mats will be available for participants whorequire an environmental mat and for those wishing to take home a unique and practical souvenir of the event, while also promoting the adoption of goodenvironmental practices throughout the competition.

• Throughthese measures, 6DAYS® Portugal 2026 reinforces its commitment to environmentalresponsibility, ensuring that motorsport and nature can coexist in harmony.

• Controlled Washing Zones: Motorcycle washing areas are equipped with proper drainage and sealed surfaces, incompliance with the FIM Environmental Code, to prevent runoff and protect theground.
• An Environmental Map is available via the sporting application and at the event secretary’s office, providing clear guidance on protected zones andsustainability protocols.

Protecting biodiversity is of utmost importance to the organisation. A plan to protect the fauna and flora of the study area should be implemented, focusing on the places where the start, finish, and supply sectors are located.

Actions

• Preserve the existing flora in areas directly and indirectly affected by the project.
• This even adheres to the four principles of Sport of Nature available in the FIM Environmental Code
• Plant species extraction and cutting are prohibited in direct and indirect areas.
• Mountain trail restoration.
• Sustainable forest management.
• Planting native species.

It is not allowed to burn cleared vegetation, waste, or any other materials that can easily catch fire in an open space.

It is strictly forbidden to collect and/or extract wildlife. Any such activity is prohibited.

Participants are strongly encouraged to wash andthoroughly clean their motorcycles, vehicles, equipment, boots, tyres, andother gear in the designated washing areas before departing the event. This measure aims to prevent the accidental spread of invasive alien species, seeds,soil-borne organisms, and plant pathogens to other regions, therebycontributing to the protection of biodiversity and local ecosystems.Information on designated cleaning areas and recommended procedures will becommunicated through the event’s official channels.

Coastal Zone/ Vasco da Gama Bay Beach (Final Special)

● Natural Values: Sensitive dune vegetation (Ammophila arenaria, Elymus farctus,

Medicagomarina), coastal and migratory birds.

● Absolute Exclusion Directive:

The race route does not use or cross the dune system.

The area isclassified as an Absolute Exclusion Zone (Buffer Zone).

●Protection: Installation of continuous fencing, routing of the public through structured

walkways,and a dedicated permanent cleaning team

‍

The creation and consolidation of Enduro routes play a relevant role in the activemanagement

of the territory:

● Clearing of Weeds: Removal of invasive species that occupy trails, reducing competition

with native flora.

● Fire Prevention: Maintenance ensures passable routes for firefighters and civil

protection,promoting the reduction of combustible loads and the creation of management

strips thatact as natural barriers.

● Spatial Planning: Concentrates circulation on consolidated trails, facilitatinginformal

ruralsurveillance and reducing diffuse erosion.

The event has been aligned with the SDGs.

One of the most important parts of the environmental strategy of ISDE 2026 is the positive

compensationof the impact generated by the event. To this end, a strategic agreement was

establishedwith the ICNF (Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests).
‍

● Emissions Measurement (Scope 1, 2, ): During the event, a dedicated team,

under the direct supervision and control of the FIM International Sustainability

Commission(CID FIM), will be responsible for the rigorous survey and measurement of

all carbonemissions generated.
‍

● Appeal for Collaboration: To ensure the calculation of the generated CO2 values is

accurate, weappeal to the collaboration of everyone (teams, riders, staff) to provide us

with thenecessary data when requested (consumption, travel, logistics).

‍

● Positive Compensation: The calculated data will allow the execution of the ecological

compensation plan agreed with the ICNF, ensuring that the event leaves a positive and

lasting environmental legacy in the territory

Digital Carbon Footprint Data Collection Platform: A dedicated digital platform for sustainability data collection and carbon footprint calculationhas been developed and will be available before the start of the event. All event stakeholders will be asked to submit the information needed to calculateScope 1 and 2 emissions. National teams will provide data through their TeamManagers, independent riders, mechanics, officials, organisers, service providers, media representatives, volunteers, and other accredited participants. This system will enable a comprehensive, transparent assessmentof the event’s environmental impact and support accurate carbon accounting and reporting.
