Environmental Policy Introduction

As a socially responsible manufacturer, Bentley has a comprehensive environmental policy to minimise impact on the local and global environment.

In the Making
Our long-term course of action applies to all Bentley Associates working in the design, development, manufacture and sales of cars and automotive products. It is communicated to all Associates and interested parties.

The principles are to:
- Integrate environmental factors into business decisions
- Comply with all relevant environmental legislation, regulations and codes of practice that relate to the company's activities
- Continually improve the environmental performance of the Crewe site
- Show a demonstrable commitment to pollution prevention
- Develop and maintain the Bentley environmental management system in-line with international standards
- Promote ownership and control of environmental issues at the appropriate business level
- Optimise and efficiently use resources whilst maximising re-use and recycling opportunities

As part of our effort, we have already introduced new manufacturing processes; reducing total energy consumption by almost 30 per cent in the past decade. CO2 emissions in the manufacturing process have declined by more than 20 per cent, and water use has fallen by more than a quarter. That environmental improvement was a significant achievement, since it coincided with record production and a tenfold sales growth to more than 10,000 cars annually.

The integration of environmental values into the Bentley vision and brand signals an evolutionary step in Bentley’s history. The entire company is embracing green technology while remaining true to W.O. Bentley’s simple ambition: to produce “a good car, a fast car, the best in its class”.

These improvements are now being augmented in the vehicles themselves with an environmental solution that is both technically advanced and practical.
