Sustainability Report

Our Beyond100+ strategy remains the foundation of our transformation. It sets a clear ambition: to secure the long-term success of Bentley while contributing positively to society and the environment. In the past year, we have continued to embed sustainability in every aspect of our business – from design and engineering, through manufacturing and our supply chain, to the way we support our people and engage with our communities.

In a rapidly changing global landscape, we must show that resilience and responsibility can go hand in hand. The past year has been difficult for many businesses. For us, changes in the political landscape, slower than desired progress on technology and infrastructure, and shifting customer sentiment across global markets have posed a significant challenge to our original aim to produce only electric vehicles by 2035. Whilst we continue to develop strategies, technologies, and pathways for long term decarbonisation, we have had to lengthen the timeline for electrification. Since the broader landscape continues to evolve, it is not yet possible to set a new date by which we will complete this transition.

This pragmatic approach allows us to balance progress with excellence, ensuring that every Bentley delivers the performance, craftsmanship and emotional engagement our customers expect, while steadily reducing emissions across the vehicle lifecycle.

As announced in March 2026, we are making some difficult decisions to ensure the long-term competitiveness of the business, including an organisational adjustment potentially impacting approximately 275 positions.

These actions, alongside our investments and Beyond100+ strategy, ensure Bentley remains financially resilient, strategically focused, and well positioned for the next generation of luxury vehicles.

Despite the change to our product strategy, we are still on track to reveal the first fully electric Bentley in 2026. This is a milestone in our sustainability journey and signals the beginning of a new era for our brand, building on our Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) offer across our models. In 2025, we achieved our lowest fleet CO₂e emissions to date, reflecting the delivery of our plan including a higher mix of electrified powertrains. Looking ahead, fleet emissions may fluctuate in the near term due to regulatory and market factors however we remain committed to overall long term sustained reductions.

Our decarbonisation approach extends beyond product electrification. We have continued to act to steadily reduce emissions across our operations, logistics, and supply chain, guided by robust measurement and lifecycle analysis. We also test technologies and solutions that have the potential to further reduce emissions, such as direct air capture in the development of eFuels, a project on which we have extended our work in 2025.

This report details the many strategic efforts we make that embed sustainability and innovation into decision-making at every level. We encourage our people to experiment too. This year we developed EXP 15, a design vision all-electric concept car with a physical exterior and virtual reality interior.

Our people remain at the heart of Bentley’s success and their engagement, creativity and pride give me great confidence in our ability to navigate the transformation ahead. In 2025, we further empowered our colleagues to take ownership of sustainability in their daily work and continued to prepare them for a future of producing extraordinary electric vehicles with more Carbon Literacy training and Adult Apprenticeship opportunities. We continue to invest in their professional development, and encourage them to enjoy the inclusive, high-performance culture that permeates our site in Crewe. We believe in enabling equal opportunities for our colleagues, with two clear ambitions; increasing the number of females in leadership positions, and increasing the ethnic diversity of our leadership team.

As always, strong governance underpins everything we do. Our Board and leadership teams maintain active oversight of sustainability, risk and integrity, supported by independent challenge and expert insight.

The journey to net zero is complex and will require continued innovation, collaboration, and time. I am confident that Bentley is well positioned to be an important part of shaping the future of sustainable luxury – not by compromising on what has always made us extraordinary, but by redefining excellence for generations to come.

I would like to thank my colleagues, partners, and our stakeholders for their continued commitment and support. Together, we are shaping a future where Bentley’s legacy of craftsmanship and performance is matched by a lasting, positive impact on society and the environment.
