Bentley marks Earth Day with launch of third annual Sustainability Report

Bentley Motors has marked Earth Day with the publication of its third annual Sustainability Report, reinforcing its long-term commitment to responsible luxury, carbon neutrality and the transition to electric mobility.

The report highlights achievements across Bentley’s Beyond100+ strategy in 2024, including key investments in innovation, workforce development and sustainable operations.

The document outlined the brand’s progress towards a fully electrified line-up by 2035, with all current models now available as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).

Bentley’s first fully electric model – described as the world’s first true Luxury Urban SUV – is set to debut in 2026.

The company confirmed it would introduce a new plug-in hybrid or battery electric vehicle every year for the next decade as part of a wider strategy to reduce total lifecycle carbon emissions.

At the same time, Bentley’s Crewe headquarters maintained its PAS 2060-certified carbon neutral status for a fifth consecutive year, powered by 100% green electricity and gas.

Significant site investments were made in 2024, with the continued development of Bentley’s ‘Dream Factory’ in Crewe.

Key projects included the expansion of the Engineering Technical Centre (ETC), the Excellence Centre for Quality and Launch (ECQL), and the Technical Conformity Centre (TCC), enabling greater use of virtual testing, AI integration and localised emissions compliance.
