McLaren has become the first ever fully carbon-neutral team in Formula 1, with a wide range of efficiency-driven measures currently enforced at its Woking base.
The accolade, which backs up the coveted Carbon Trust Standard that the outfit achieved in December of last year, recognises the squad’s recent and impressive results, including the 1500 tonnes of CO2 emissions being annually saved.
"I’m both delighted and proud that Vodafone McLaren Mercedes has become the world’s first carbon-neutral Formula 1 team," Team Principal Martin Whitmarsh said on Monday. "It’s a considerable achievement: the result of a lot of hard work by a number of extremely dedicated individuals within our organisation, and a testament to our philosophy of continuous improvement within the workplace.
"Today’s announcement is the strongest possible proof that we’ve gone farther than any other Formula 1 team in becoming more environmentally sympathetic and efficient - an achievement that’s of great importance not only to our entire organisation but also to all our partners too."
