Carbon Offsetting Initiative Announced at the AGM

Saturday 30 April 2022

Today's Annual General Meeting covered a number of topics and articles, including the start of the VSCC's relationship with Tree-V. 

There is no hiding from climate change. We believe there are ways to run vintage cars so that they can make a genuinely positive, perhaps even regenerative contribution towards the UK achieving net zero by 2050. 


The Vintage Sports-Car Club have entered into an arrangement with Tree-V, the preferred partner of the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs – of which the VSCC is a member. The carbon emitted by our cars while they are competing will be recovered through internationally and nationally accredited schemes. For every tonne the cars emit, around two tonnes will be immediately offset and the same amount again will be put towards long-term carbon capture schemes. Through tree-planting, Tree-V are also capturing the CO2 of 10,000 business miles for us annually, which more than covers the business mileage accrued by the Club’s staff.
