FIA Foundation

Our charitable objectives are to promote public safety and public health, the protection and preservation of human life and the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and natural environment through:

• promoting research, disseminating the results of research and providing information in any matters of public interest which include road safety, automobile technology, the protection and preservation of human life and public health, transport and public mobility and the protection of the environment;

• and promoting improvement in the safety of motor sport, and of drivers, passengers, pedestrians and other road users.

We are bound by the laws of the UK, including the Charities Act 1993 (as amended by the Charities Act 2006) and Bribery Act 2010. We take a zero tolerance approach to bribery and fraud and this is set out in our Anti-bribery and Corruption Policy and Anti-Fraud Policy and Fraud Response Plan adopted by the Board of Trustees in November 2011 and March 2013 respectively.

The Foundation was established in 2001 with a donation of $300 million made by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), the non-profit federation of motoring organisations and the governing body of world motor sport. To clarify the relationship between the Foundation and the FIA the Board of Trustees adopted a statement on this subject in November 2010.
