Bentley has launched two new initiatives, the Bentley Sustainability Council and its first Sustainability Report
The former is a team of global experts, created, Bentley said, to both challenge and aid the company’s pursuit of sustainability excellence outlined in its Beyond100 strategy.
The team will offer an external voice and bring new ideas that both challenge and encourage the Beyond100 strategy, with the aim to achieve end-to-end carbon neutrality by 2030. The Council, which will advise the Bentley Board of Management and the Sustainability Committee directly, will play a key role in guiding one of the biggest transformations the automotive industry has ever seen.
The members of the Council are:
- Dr Sally Uren, OBE, Chief Executive, Forum for the Future
- Dr Andrew Dent, EVP of Materials Research, Material ConneXion
- Dr Nicholas Garrett, Co-founder and Director, RCS Global Group.
Launching the Sustainability Council and first Sustainability Report, Adrian Hallmark, Chairman and CEO of Bentley Motors, said:
“Our core principles of building the best grand tourers available have remained, but Beyond100 extends this, driving fundamental changes such as the shift from traditional powertrains to electric mobility, and how the company aims to become an end-to-end carbon neutral business by 2030.
“At Bentley, we want to demonstrate our commitment to working transparently in our drive towards a more sustainable future. The report will be an annual publication, highlighting our progress as we move towards our Beyond100 targets. The new established Sustainability Council will challenge our progress and aids our mission to become the global leader in sustainable luxury mobility.”
