The news was released by the squad through its Twitter account (@VenturiFE), on a tweet where it made clear its commitment to create spaces promoting a carbon-free future.
“Today we celebrate our FIA 3-star Environmental Accreditation, while keeping an open mind and aware of the ever-evolving ways to reduce our carbon footprint,” said the team.
