AISTS WINS 2017 UIM ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD

Switzerland’s International Academy of Sports Science and Technology (AISTS) has won the 2017 Union International Motonautique (UIM) Environmental Award for developing an inventory of trends and case studies aimed at determining the sustainability of international sporting federations.

The result was announced at the ninth Union International Motonautique (UIM) World Champions Awards Giving Gala, staged at the iconic Sporting Monte-Carlo, Monaco on March 17 and sponsored by BUND Holding Group, H2O Racing and UNICEF. As well as announcing that AISTS had won the main trophy, the UIM also credited Special Mentions for “Greening the Sport” and for “Environmental Benefit” to H2O Racing and SEAir respectively.

First launched in 2009, the UIM Environmental Award was created to inspire and recognise excellence in innovation, development and application of environmentally friendly practices and technologies.

“The presentation of the Environmental Award and Special Mentions is one of the highlights of the UIM Awards Giving Ceremony and Gala Dinner,” said UIM President Dr Chiulli. “We are delighted to recognise the work of AISTS in this way and feel the efforts of both H2O Racing and SEAir should also receive special recognition for a commitment to sustainability and the development of technology.”
