Joining forces for a CO₂ neutral Mercedes-Benz supply chain.

When it comes to CO₂ neutrality, we’re not only looking at our products, but at our entire value chain. In order to make the biggest possible difference for our planet, we need to work hand in hand with our entire supply chain.

So we asked our suppliers to join us in pursuing our goal of a CO₂ neutral passenger car fleet by 2039 – fulfilling our commitment to the Paris climate agreement 11 years earlier than EU-legislation will eventually require.

In addition, the Mercedes-Benz Group supports qualified climate change mitigation projects that meet recognized standards.
