Where Luxury Meets Sustainability

As Bentley sets out to transform from a 103-year-old British automaker to a new, sustainable and wholly ethical role model for the luxury industry within a decade, it invited regional press and lifestyle tastemakers to an exclusive ladies-only workshop in Bangkok in August to discuss the hot topic of whether luxury and sustainability can co-exist without compromise.

Representing Prestige for the trip, Amanda Leong, who is no stranger to luxury automobiles with her fleet of fast cars at home, took part in the first fully carbon-neutral Bentley event in Asia Pacific. The programme featured a wellness-focused stay at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, an engaging fireside chat with like-minded women and Bentley's key female executives, and the unveiling of the Bentley Flying Spur Hybrid. Here are her thoughts on the two-day showcase.
