(PRESS RELEASE) CREWE, 22-Apr-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Bentley Motors has released its fourth annual Sustainability Report, outlining continued progress under its Beyond100+ strategy as the company advances its transition toward low-carbon luxury mobility. The report highlights measurable achievements across emissions reduction, product development, and workforce engagement, while reinforcing Bentley’s long-term ambition to align with global net-zero targets by 2050.

During 2025, Bentley recorded its lowest fleet CO₂ emissions to date and maintained carbon-neutral manufacturing operations at its Crewe facility. The company is also preparing for a significant milestone with the planned unveiling of its first fully electric model in 2026, marking the beginning of a new phase in its electrification journey. Alongside battery electric vehicles, Bentley continues to retain flexibility in its product portfolio by offering plug-in hybrid and internal combustion engine options.

A key element of the company’s strategy is a comprehensive approach to decarbonisation that extends beyond vehicle use to encompass the entire lifecycle. This includes increased focus on emerging technologies such as Direct Air Capture, the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel for logistics, and the development of eFuels. Lifecycle analysis is being more deeply integrated into design and supplier decision-making processes, supporting responsible sourcing and long-term sustainability planning.

The report also emphasizes Bentley’s commitment to balancing environmental progress with the preservation of craftsmanship, performance, and luxury standards. Through ongoing concept studies and innovation initiatives, the company is shaping future vehicle design while maintaining the distinctive qualities associated with the brand.

Beyond environmental targets, Bentley continues to invest in its people and communities. In 2025, the company expanded training programs focused on carbon literacy and future skills, strengthened diversity and inclusion initiatives, and enhanced its role as an employer. Community engagement has also been broadened through initiatives such as the Advancing Life Chances programme and the evolution of the Bentley Foundation, which now supports projects in education, arts, and culture alongside environmental efforts.

The report reflects a strategic approach to navigating the challenges facing the automotive industry, including evolving customer expectations, infrastructure limitations, and global uncertainties. By embedding sustainability across operations, supply chains, and product development, Bentley aims to redefine modern luxury while ensuring long-term resilience.

Prepared in alignment with recognized reporting standards, the Sustainability Report 2025 provides a detailed overview of Bentley’s UK operations and its broader transformation efforts. It demonstrates how the company is integrating sustainability into every aspect of its business while continuing to deliver high-performance vehicles that meet the expectations of its global customer base.
