ESG: Thanks to support of Panattoni (developer, lessor of industrial, warehouse, office space for automotive, other firms in North America, Europe, Asia), racer David Pabiška (SP Moto Bohemia Racing Team, KTM 450 Rally motorcycle) to be first Czech in history to have his fuel emissions offset (through voluntary CO2IN/Amper Holding carbon credits certified by TÜV Nord Czech in amount corresponding to volume of fuel burned and emission factor according to 2024 DEFRA methodology) at Dakar Rally (January 3-17, 2025; Saudi Arabia). Although this only offsets fuel-related emissions (1,880 kg CO2, 800 liters), not total carbon footprint of participation in race, it is important step in effort to minimize impact of motorsport on environment, said Panattoni, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025
