The Partnership
A common theme between the two respective brands is the push towards a more eco-friendly and sustainable future. Make no mistake, for Bentley, this is no small feat. Arguably the most sought-after luxury brand in automotive vehicles, Bentley is looking to add a new chapter to its storied 102 year history through the Bentley Beyond 100 strategy. Announced in 2020, the ground-breaking initiative seeks to reinvent every aspect of the Bentley model with its ambitious aim of achieving end-to-end carbon neutrality by 2030. While certainly not the first automaker that aims to achieve this, Bentley is arguably the biggest.
“Transforming Bentley into the world’s most sustainable luxury car company is an exciting journey, and I’m delighted to be working with The Macallan with one common goal – to both lead our fields as we work towards a more sustainable future.”

The Macallan has voiced its own goal with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality, also by 2030. Established in 1824, The Macallan is world renowned for its signature single malt whiskies.
It looks to continue delivering on its extraordinary feature but with the aim of incorporating eco-friendly strategies. Some of The Macallan’s plans include contributing back to surrounding communities, progressive packaging, and vetted partnerships with sustainable suppliers.
