Renata Jungo Brüngger has been instrumental in ensuring that sustainability is deeply integrated into the corporate strategy. In her role as sustainability coordinator, she advances the company-wide management in this area crucial to the long-term success. In an increasingly complex regulatory environment, her forward-looking, cross-functional governance approach is instrumental in ensuring that Mercedes-Benz can develop technical and digital innovations while ensuring they remain on a sound legal footing.
Britta Seeger initiated key decisions which proved to be of far-reaching strategic importance for global sales: She has advanced the digitisation of sales channels and the consistent customer orientation of all units in an innovative manner, demonstrating far sightedness. In exceptionally challenging times, she and her team have become the crucial link between the brand and the customer, creating a flexible organization excellently positioned for the future."
