Sustainability

In April 2024, Bentley revealed its second annual Sustainability Report, highlighting how the British marque aims to become the global leader in sustainable luxury mobility. The 125-page document focuses on the brand’s achievements in 2023, as the company targets end-to-end carbon neutrality by the end of the decade. It also emphasizes the initiatives and programs that support the more than 4,000 people working at the carbon-neutral factory in Crewe, where all Bentley models are built.

The comprehensive report, which is available to read online, reveals Bentley’s tireless work towards a more sustainable future. It examines every aspect of the business, including employee and customer well-being, even investigating how Bentley drivers and passengers can feel even better after a long journey.

In relation to the Bentley headquarters in Crewe, the new report details how employees now benefit from the company’s new People Strategy. A revitalized, high-performance culture includes activities for health and well-being, promoting an overall vision of “success through people.” This includes the Role Model mentoring program, while Future Skills and Colleague Development prepare employees for the transformation to building an all-electric range of cars. The Charge Forward Leadership Programme (CFLP) targets staff in senior leadership roles and future talent, helping them develop and enhance their leadership capabilities.

Bentley’s new Advancing Life Chances (ALC) strategy is focused on supporting the most pressing social issues around Crewe, with packages of targeted community investment. The Bentley Environment Foundation is part of the wider strategy, offering grants to joint environmental projects that go beyond carbon neutrality and inspire rejuvenation and regeneration.
