Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has completed three environmental projects in partnership with the Goodwood Estate in the UK to promote biodiversity and preserve local heritage.

Rolls-Royce announced on the 27th that it had worked with the Goodwood Estate on a pilot of mycelium-based eco-friendly fertilizer, the preservation of the historic site Goodwood Trundle, and the restoration of an unused pond at Goodwood Home Farm.

The mycelium-based natural fertilizer is intended to improve soil health and reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers. After being tested at the Goodwood Estate, it was also introduced on the Rolls-Royce headquarters grounds. In the future, about one-third of the site planned for a headquarters expansion will be set aside to protect wildlife and promote biodiversity.

At Goodwood Trundle, a site with a history of about 5,000 years, a protective layer was put in place, and signs and educational videos were prepared to prevent damage to the remains as visitor numbers increase. About 4.8 km from the Rolls-Royce headquarters, Goodwood Trundle is a historic site featuring an Iron Age hillfort and Neolithic remains.

The pond at Goodwood Home Farm, which had been unused for about 30 years, was also restored. Native aquatic plants have been planted and an observation deck installed, and the pond is being used as a habitat for wildlife such as deer and foxes, as well as a space for ecological education for young people. Rolls-Royce and the Goodwood Estate have continued their efforts to protect the local ecosystem, planting at least 60,000 trees and conserving native wildflower seeds, researching the movement routes of rare bat species, and more.

Samuel Beadle, corporate communications manager at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, explained, “Rolls-Royce has considered Goodwood its brand home for more than 20 years. It continues to work closely with others to protect the local environment, from preserving historic sites in the area and providing ecological education for young people to managing the grounds sustainably.”
