Mobility Resort Motegi, located in Motegi Town, Tochigi Prefecture, is attracting attention for its sustainability initiatives. Operated by Honda Mobilityland Corporation, the facility was selected as a finalist in the Biodiversity Project category of the international “Sport Positive Awards 2026.” This award recognizes organizations and individuals who use the power of sports to address climate change and the biodiversity crisis.
Among approximately 100 organizations nominated from around the world, Mobility Resort Motegi’s inclusion alongside prestigious organizations such as the FIS (International Ski and Snowboard Federation), the NBA, and Premier League clubs Liverpool FC and Arsenal FC is a testament to the facility’s sincere commitment to sustainability.
Significance of the Biodiversity Project Section
The “Biodiversity Project” category recognizes the efforts of sports organizations working to protect biodiversity. This category evaluates outstanding projects that have a positive impact on local communities and the environment, and Mobility Resort Motegi has been highlighted in this regard.
For the past 25 years, the facility has focused on the conservation and restoration of rural landscapes. As a result, approximately 5,800 species of organisms have been identified by 2025, and sustainable forest management is being implemented. This initiative serves as a platform to convey the importance of nature to athletes and visitors, and by offering experiential programs in collaboration with local communities, schools, and companies, it is spreading the value of nature conservation.
Award announcement and future initiatives
The winners of the “Sport Positive Awards” will be announced at the “Sport Positive Summit” to be held in London, England on October 6, 2026. This summit will bring together sports organizations and leagues from around the world in cooperation with international organizations such as the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and the UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change).
