Bentley Motors Announces The Launch Of The Bentley Environmental Foundation

Building on Bentley’s Beyond100 strategy and long-term commitment to sustainability, Bentley Motors today announces the launch of the Bentley Environmental Foundation.    The Foundation supports a wide range of initiatives. The initial launch partner projects include Project Drawdown, The Biomimicry Institute and Sustainable Surf, with more partners to follow. Anyone can support the Bentley Environmental Foundation and its partners through donations big or small in order to increase the environmental impact of these projects.

Based on extensive research and analysis of existing initiatives, Bentley has developed a distinctive, innovative approach to modern grant-making in the environmental space. Built around its new Environmental Foundation, the company will help to create next generation solutions to environmental challenges, aiming for rejuvenation and regeneration and going beyond carbon neutrality. The launch of the Foundation has been aided by strategic advice from the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF).

 

The company is supporting the Foundation directly by initially donating £3 million this year. This is a first step to support carefully selected charities and non-profits who will work in partnership with Bentley to deliver lasting, effective environmental change. The Foundation takes a three-pronged approach to grant-making – accelerating decarbonisation ('drawdown'), supporting environmental changemakers and reimagining sustainable luxury.
