NEWSWEEK'S COMMUNITY DISRUPTOR OF THE YEAR.
Newsweek has named Bentley as its Community Disruptor of the Year as part of its 2025 World’s Greatest Auto Disruptors awards. This recognition celebrates our commitment to building an inclusive, diverse, and equitable workplace and our continued efforts to positively impact the communities around us. Last year alone, we supported an estimated 40,000 individuals through 450 donations.
From promoting diverse talent to fostering belonging through our #BelongingAtBentley campaign, this award reflects the values we live by every day at Bentley and is at the heart of our Beyond100+ strategy.
"Historically, Bentley has actively supported local communities, particularly around its headquarters in Crewe and the surrounding Cheshire area. This support includes collaborations with local schools and colleges to nurture young talent, exemplified by Bentley's role as a founding partner of the Crewe Engineering & Design University Technical College.
Moving forward, we are committed to expanding the diverse talent pipelines and investing in our people. Bentley will continue investing in apprenticeship programs and mentorship initiatives to attract underrepresented talent in engineering, design and leadership. Our five colleague-led Diversity & Inclusion networks, which contain over 800 colleagues from across all business areas, will continue to drive inclusion and belonging activities ensuring from top down and bottom up, everyone at Bentley feels that they belong"
