Bentley operates a carbon-neutral UK factory with 100% renewable electricity, but hides absolute emissions figures across its supply chain and use-phase operations—the dominant impact category for a luxury car maker. Core electrification target pushed back five years to 2035. Intensity metrics and offsets mask the scale of real emissions reduction.
Bentley Motors scores 45/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
That places Bentley Motors joint 258th of 847 companies scored, and 1st of 24 in Automotive.
Bentley Motors is the highest-scoring automotive company we've rated.
Among the 24 major automotive brands we've scored, Bentley Motors sits 1st of 24.
Its three lowest-scoring questions, and what the evidence didn't show.
No absolute Scope 3 tonne figures published despite complex global supply chain and ~13,000 vehicles/year.
No year-on-year absolute emissions data in tonnes.
Targets structured around proprietary DKI intensity metric, not absolute reduction.

Volvo Cars reports comprehensive emissions data and has adopted forward-thinking frameworks like TNFD, but undermined credibility by abandoning its 2030 all-electric target and weakening CO2 reduction commitments in September 2024.
