Our Commitment to Impact
For over 40 years, Bentley has empowered the people who design, build, and operate better and more resilient infrastructure. Together, we are advancing infrastructure for a better quality of life. We are proud to empower their work and are committed to improving the environmental and social impacts of our own business. Our impact strategy aims to deliver in four key areas of our business: handprint, environmental, social, and governance.
Our Impact Framework
ENVIRONMENTAL
As a software company, we operate responsibly by implementing measures to reduce the environmental footprint of our operations and value chain. We seek partners and vendors who share our commitment. Our environmental impact, however, goes far beyond how we operate. We empower infrastructure professionals everywhere to build and operate more sustainable and resilient infrastructure, and to enable them to progress work on our greatest environment challenges.
SOCIAL
Bentley is a global company with operations spanning continents, connecting people and ideas from every corner of the world. Our success is powered by the dedication, creativity, and expertise of our extraordinary colleagues, whose diverse talents and experiences drive meaningful impact across all we do. As active and engaged members of the global community, we embrace our shared responsibility to make a positive difference. Together, we transform shared purpose into action, shaping a future we can all be proud of.
GOVERNANCE

Our Impact: ES(D)G
Hear from Director of ES(D)G, Rodrigo Fernandes, on Empowering Sustainable (Development) Goals, his perspective for how the infrastructure community contributes to progress on the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals.
28M
Infrastructure Engineers
According to Cambashi, there are 28 million engineers in the world who work on infrastructure. These are the men and women who are civil, structural, and geotechnical engineers. They work every day to advance infrastructure and to improve our quality of life.
$3T
Annual Infrastructure Investment
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) estimates that up to $3 trillion of incremental annual investment in infrastructure is required each year to meet U.N. climate and development objectives.
17
U.N. Sustainable Development Goals
The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals are a global call to action, “a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.” Sustainable and resilient infrastructure is a foundational and essential contributor to reaching these goals. Our expertise in infrastructure is our greatest contribution to sustainable development, and we will report on how our users leverage our technology to drive progress toward these goals.
Innovation, Resilience, Responsibility
It is not a question of whether we will build infrastructure, as it is essential to our quality of life and underpins our economies. Rather, we must build sustainable infrastructure and endeavor to be the best possible stewards of our environment. Understandably, then, we feel that our greatest impact is providing the technology and facilitating the sharing of best practices that empowers our users to advance infrastructure responsibly. Our users are the enterprises and professionals who design, build, and operate the world’s infrastructure.
