BENTLEY MILLS IS PROUDLY A CARBON NEUTRAL COMPANY.
As a carbon neutral company, Bentley Mills is actively seeking and engaging in solutions to climate change that not only reduce our impact but also restore the planet with a vision to be carbon negative by the year 2030. We are committed to addressing the intersection of climate change, economic and social inequities, and aligning with partners who understand and value this approach.
Manufactured in the world’s first LEED EB OM Gold carpet manufacturing facility building, all of our carpet is 100% PVC Free, with sustainability certifications, such as Cradle to Cradle, NSF 140, Green Label Plus and we meet the Red List requirements for the Living Building Challenge. Bentley Mills does not use perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS) substances in the manufacture of our carpet products. Further, Bentley Mills does not apply any topical treatments that can be harmful to people and the planet.

Manufacturing in California challenges us in ways that suppliers based in other states can’t imagine. But that’s what makes us better, and we’re continuously improving our processes to exceed California regulations. During the last seven years, we have reduced our consumption of electricity by 34%, natural gas by 53%, and water by 68%, all while doubling our revenue and output.

We continue to strive to improve by introducing renewable energy, bio-based material, and enhanced recycled content. Each project is designed to avoid chemicals of concern and reduce our carbon footprint, while striving to be a good partner to those most negatively impacted by emissions. After our hard work is complete, any remaining unabated carbon is offset by a third-party partner to insure we maintain technical integrity and full transparency.

But we believe that being a sustainable company and being truly committed to protecting and restoring our planet goes far beyond action around carbon. Bentley’s commitment to social equity is demonstrated by a long history of community outreach programs that serve marginalized and underserved communities because we know that vulnerable populations are more at-risk from a changing climate.

That’s why we expanded our portfolio of carbon offset investments to include targeted social impact-based projects such as clean water and cooking solutions, gender equity programs, sustainable infrastructure, and other health and livelihood strategies.
Additionally, our carbon offset investment portfolio will continue to include natural climate solutions such as forest and grassland restoration and also technological programs that advance renewable energy and improve waste management. All programs are evaluated and verified by a credible third party for quality and transparency.
