Find out below what our team is actually doing to hit a net zero carbon footprint.
Visa Cash App RB, with specialist support, calculates its carbon footprint per calendar year to measure overall CO2 emissions in 2019. The figure is around 15,000 tonnes, 74% produced by the Faenza factory and Bicester (UK) wind tunnel.
In 2020 the figure is around 6,500 tonnes, 69% produced by the Faenza factory and Bicester (UK) wind tunnel.
ENERGY STATION
The Energy Station becomes completely plastics-free
In 2021 the figure is around 11,100 tonnes, 69% produced by the Faenza factory and Bicester (UK) wind tunnel.
SINGLE-USE PLASTIC FREE
No single-use plastic is allowed in the factory: the use of disposable plastic is eliminated. Plastic water bottles are replaced by paper containers. The vending machines in the refreshment areas no longer stock them and employees are forbidden to use them. Instead, they are provided with aluminium water bottles to be filled at special microfiltered water dispensers.
FIA Environmental Accreditation
The Team has been awarded the FIA Three Star Environmental Accreditation, the highest level of sustainability recognised by motor sport’s governing body, with the aim of helping motor sport and mobility stakeholders to measure and enhance their environmental performance.
