The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team is partnering with Chestnut Carbon to drive large-scale carbon removal projects across the Southeastern United States. The initiative aims to restore 200 hectares (~500 acres) of degraded farmland into thriving biodiverse forests, aligning with the team’s sustainability goals.
While emissions reduction remains a priority, the team acknowledges the need for high-quality carbon removals to address unavoidable emissions, in line with Oxford Offsetting Principles.
