Article Summary
Team BRIT, the world’s only competitive team of all-disabled racing drivers, is embarking on what could be its biggest challenge to date. The team is announcing an exciting new partnership with a leading environmental consultancy, in efforts to lead the way in sustainability in motorsport.
Team BRIT is a history-making racing team, with a fleet of cars that are adapted to the requirements of each racer. The team can compete on a level playing field with able-bodied drivers thanks to its innovative hand control technology, offering a unique and inclusive approach to competitive racing that no other sport can offer.
Tunley Environmental has become the latest sponsor to join the team, embarking on a project to maximise the sustainability of the team. Its PhD-level scientists work with organisations in a range of sectors to provide innovative and scientific solutions towards decarbonisation.
Tunley Environmental will be conducting a Business Carbon Assessment (BCA) and producing a Net Zero Roadmap, outlining Team BRIT’s carbon footprint, and creating a plan to reduce its carbon output.
Team BRIT Founder Dave Player explains:
“Our impact on the green agenda has been a conundrum that has been part of our thinking for some time now.
“That’s where Tunley Environmental come in – we’re not experts in this, and we certainly don’t want to invest in efforts that have little impact on our carbon footprint. With their expertise, we can ensure we fully understand the impact of our operations, and crucially, the realistic measures we can take to make a difference."
Tunley Environmental CEO, Dr Will Beer states:
"Team Brit are so proactive in their approach to not just sustainability but social responsibility that we jumped at the chance to support them, I am incredibly excited to be working alongside them on exciting sustainability projects whilst our scientists support their accelerating transition to Net Zero and beyond - awesome times ahead!"
