Internode founder and managing director, Simon Hackett, is taking his new Tesla Roadster electric sportscar on the road in October as part of Internode’s involvement in the Global Green Challenge car race from Darwin to Adelaide.
Hackett announced today that he would take part
in the challenge, as part of Internode’s partnership commitment to the
event which showcases alternative energy vehicles.
The Global Green Challenge runs from Darwin to Adelaide between 24 and
30 October this year as part of the World Solar Challenge which
showcases electric, hybrid, solar, low emission and alternative energy
vehicles.
Hackett said today the synergies between Internode and the Global Green
Challenge were obvious as “both organisations are committed to
innovation and embracing environmentally responsible technologies.
According to Hackett, the Adelaide-based ISP’s is sponsorship of the
Global Green Challenge is “just the latest demonstration of its
corporate environmental responsibility.” And he says that last year,
the company had achieved CO2-free status after undertaking a major
greenhouse gas emission audit and purchasing the required offset carbon
credits.
“Since September, Internode has used 100 per cent GreenPower, generated
from sources such as wind and solar, throughout its entire operations.”
