Our Commitment to Human Rights.

Respect for human rights is a fundamental component of responsible corporate governance for the Mercedes-Benz Group. It is our aspiration and goal to ensure that human rights are respected in all our Group companies and that our suppliers also take them into account. To ensure the responsible sourcing of raw materials, we also work with associations, organisations and competitors where appropriate.

Respect for human rights has been a key priority for us for many years, and is a prerequisite for our long-term success. Our goal is clear: We only want products that have been produced without human rights violations. That is why we have firmly established this topic in our sustainable business strategy.

The goal of the Mercedes-Benz Group is to combine business success with responsible action toward the environment, people and society – and to do so along the entire value chain.
