The newly launched Bentley Environmental Foundation will aid climate change startups

Bentley’s Beyond100 strategy comprises the brand going all-electric by 2030, and to bolster its commitment to sustainability, the British luxury marque has announced the launch of the Bentley Environmental Foundation. The Foundation will support various climate-protection initiatives with the initial launch of partner projects comprising Project Drawdown, The Biomimicry Institute and Sustainable Surf, with more to follow. While Project Drawdown is working to reduce disconnects between today’s climate funding and the science-based solutions needed to address climate change effectively, the Biomimicry Institute shall help innovators scale their nature-inspired future solutions against established businesses, and Sustainable Surf will utilise its funding to support the planting and protection of mangrove trees, seagrass meadows. Bentley has kickstarted its support by announcing a £3 million donation this year towards charities collaborating with the firm to deliver effective environmental change. Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), a not-for-profit organisation with nearly 100 years of expertise in philanthropy, is partnering with Bentley to ensure its investment achieves the maximum impact.
