Bentley Motors has achieved carbon neutral certification for its factory headquarters in Crewe, England, taking another important step on its journey to become the world's most sustainable luxury automotive manufacturer.


All of Bentley's electricity is generated by either on-site solar panels or purchased as certified green electricity, while all emissions that cannot be eliminated are compensated with high quality offsets.
Earlier this year, the U.K.'s largest solar car port, comprising 10,000 solar panels, was installed at Bentley's factory site in Crewe. The installation has a capacity of 2.7MW and covers 1,378 car parking spaces - an area of 16,426m². Adding to the 20,815 roof top panels already fitted, it took the total on-site solar panel energy capacity to 7.7MW, enough to cover over 1,750 homes.


To secure the PAS 2060 certification, Gold Standard carbon credits have been purchased to offset the emissions that occur during the manufacturing process. The quantity and quality of these credits have been independently verified by the Carbon Trust, the world's leading independent certification body for carbon footprints.
Bentley is now accelerating its push towards electrification with the introduction of the first fully electric Bentley slated for 2025. The luxury British marque has also just brought to market the first luxury plug-in hybrid, the Bentayga Hybrid, and aims to have hybrid variants of all models by 2023 and a battery electric vehicle by 2025.
