Common questions about this slide and the underlying presentation content.
This is Bentley Motors' third annual Sustainability Report covering the period January to December 2024. It details their Beyond100+ strategy for becoming a leader in sustainable luxury, including their path to full electrification by 2035, net zero emissions targets, circular economy initiatives, and comprehensive ESG performance across environmental, social, and governance dimensions.
The report features a premium editorial design with distinctive nature macro photography chapter dividers (feathers, leaves, minerals, shells in different color palettes for each chapter), high-quality automotive photography of Bentley vehicles, professional portrait photography of team members, clean data visualizations, and a sophisticated color palette built around Bentley's brand green with warm accents.
While this is Bentley's official report and cannot be directly reused as a template, it serves as excellent design inspiration and structural reference. The 14-chapter structure, materiality matrix approach, KPI tracking tables, innovation case study format, and stakeholder mapping methodology are all best-practice patterns you can adapt for your own ESG reporting.
Key targets include: PHEV options for all models (achieved in 2024), BEV-only production by end of 2035, net zero emissions transition, 25% gender diversity in leadership by 2030, 5% ethnic diversity in leadership by 2025, and maintaining carbon neutral manufacturing operations at their Crewe site.
The report spans 102 pages across 14 chapters: CEO Message, Materiality Assessment, Business Environment & Strategy, Decarbonisation, Product Quality & Vehicle Safety, Innovation, Sustainable Products & Materials, Sustainable Operations, Sustainable Supply Chain, Our People, Responsible Business, Governance & Integrity, About This Report, and Appendices.
The report is prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards using GRI 1: Foundation 2021. It includes a complete GRI Content Index in the appendices, maps material topics to UN Sustainable Development Goals, and aligns with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) requirements as part of the Volkswagen Group.
Each chapter features unique nature macro photography dividers in different color palettes (green for sustainability, blue for supply chain, red for operations, gold for innovation, etc.), creating a visual journey through the natural world that mirrors Bentley's environmental commitment. Combined with premium automotive photography and clean data design, it sets a high bar for corporate sustainability reporting design.
Yes, extensively. The report includes detailed appendices with Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions data, energy consumption figures, materials composition, workforce demographics, training hours, anti-corruption compliance rates, and more - all with multi-year comparisons. The main chapters also feature key metrics dashboards and infographics throughout.
