LONDON, Nov. 27 (People's Daily Online)—— McLaren Group has been awarded the Carbon Trust Standard for the second time for successfully measuring, managing and reducing carbon emissions across all of its UK operations. McLaren Group was first awarded the Carbon Trust Standard in December 2010 after several years of rigorous assessment, and was re-certified in November 2012.

Jonathan Neale, Chief Operating Officer and acting CEO, McLaren Racing Ltd, said: “For McLaren Group, this is a clear statement of our intent; our commitment to achieving industry-leading levels of carbon reduction has set a precedent for others to follow.

“We recognise the importance of developing a sustainable business model for the future, and our pursuit of innovation and new technologies in this area continues. Achieving the Carbon Trust Standard is only the beginning of a long-term strategy to improve our operations and increase environmental efficiency across the whole McLaren group of companies.”

McLaren Group has set challenging, long-term objectives to ensure that it continues to reduce its impact on the environment. These include a commitment to further reduce CO2 emissions by 2.5 per cent year on year, and achieve zero waste to landfill by the end of 2015.
