Bentley Motors’ headquarters in Crewe is the first plant in the UK automotive industry – to achieve the new energy management standard, ISO 50001. The accreditation recognises the company’s continuous improvement in energy efficiency, reflecting the long-term commitment of Bentley to reduce its overall environmental impact.
The award of the new ISO 50001 benchmark – which has only been in existence for a few months – was the result of a complex audit carried out by independent certification authority, Lloyds Register Quality Assurance (LRQA).
