Bentley Americas is proud to announce that it has successfully achieved a carbon neutrality certification for its retailers in accordance with PAS 2060, from the Carbon Trust – a global climate consultancy driven by the mission to accelerate the move to a decarbonised future.
Over the course of 12 months, the Americas retailer network of 59 active Bentley dealerships worked closely with the Carbon Trust to achieve the carbon neutral certification. Initially, the Trust used high quality carbon offsets, such as tree planting, to achieve certification. However, individual dealerships are now also implementing the first steps of their carbon reduction plans, which include a range of actions such as switching staff vehicles to BEV or PHEV, changing to green energy, and eliminating single-use plastics.
This complements Bentley’s corporate mission to reach carbon neutrality by 2030. Bentley’s path to sustainability is a driving force behind the company’s Beyond100 strategy.
Bentley was the first UK automotive manufacturer to be awarded the triple Carbon Trust Standard for carbon, water and waste reduction at its Crewe headquarters, which have been carbon-neutral certified since 2018.
