Bentley Motors

Bentley Motors, a UK-based manufacturer in the motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers industry, is actively working to reduce its carbon footprint. In 2024, Bentley Motors reported Scope 1 emissions of 2,051,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 business travel emissions of 5,938,000 kg CO2e. There was no Scope 2 data disclosed for 2024. For 2023, Scope 1 emissions were 2,498,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 business travel emissions were 6,534,000 kg CO2e, with no Scope 2 data disclosed. In 2022, Scope 1 emissions were 2,215,000 kg CO2e and Scope 3 business travel emissions were 2,032,000 kg CO2e, again with no Scope 2 data disclosed.

Bentley Motors achieved a 6% reduction in total Scope 1 and 2 (location-based) emissions between 2023 and 2024, decreasing from 9,902,000 kg CO2e to 9,260,000 kg CO2e. This reduction was driven by improvements in energy efficiency, operational enhancements, and reduced on-site fuel consumption.

The company is committed to the 1.5°C pathway as part of its Beyond100+ strategy for sustainability. Bentley Motors has set ambitious internal decarbonisation goals and developed a roadmap to achieve these. This commitment includes long-term net-zero targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2035.

Bentley Motors' climate commitments and some emissions data are cascaded from its ultimate parent, Volkswagen AG, through a corporate family relationship at cascade level 2 for initiatives such as SBTi, CDP, and CA100.
