Sustainability Information for Investors
Sustainability is a high priority for the Mercedes-Benz Group. The interests of the most important stakeholders are taken into account: customers, investors and employees, business partners and society as a whole.
The company acts on the basis of a sustainable business strategy; economic, ecological and social responsibility go hand in hand – along the entire value chain. We focus on strategic areas where our company can make an impact.
One of the most important strategic goals of the Mercedes-Benz Group is Ambition 2039.
By 2049 at the latest, the Mercedes-Benz Group intends to achieve net-zero. Net-zero means that the CO₂ emissions will be reduced by at least 90% compared to 2019. Remaining CO₂ emissions (< 10%) will be neutralized permanently.
(further information see CTAP).

Sustainability and climate protection are key pillars of the business strategy of the Mercedes-Benz Group. Against this backdrop, the Mercedes-Benz Group is making targeted adjustments to its product portfolio in order to make an effective contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions and to drive forward the transition to an increasingly electric vehicle fleet. The Group is preparing its production network to meet demand and be ready to capture the tipping point into an all-electric era. The Group is doing so, in full awareness that market conditions, infrastructure and consumer behaviour influence the course of the transformation.
The Mercedes-Benz Group hereby publishes its detailed implementation plan for decarbonisation. The Climate Transition Action Plan outlines the steps that the Mercedes-Benz Group is taking to achieve its ambitions throughout the entire product life cycle. The focus here is on the transformation of products, processes and technologies, with the aim of effectively preventing and reducing CO₂ emissions.
By issuing the Mercedes-Benz Group Climate Policy Report 2025 the Group wants to be transparent about its positions and activities demonstrating its commitment to the climate protection goals. The report begins with the foreword about Mercedes-Benz Group’s transition to the ramp-up of electric mobility. It describes the Group’s positions on climate-related policy items, followed by advocacy activities, which serve as proof points for the irrevocable commitment on climate protection.
The Mercedes-Benz Group achieved an A- rating in 2025 in the disclosure of its climate-related activities in the CDP climate questionnaire.
CDP is a global non-profit that runs an environmental disclosure system. Over 22,100 companies disclosed environmental data through CDP in 2025.
For Mercedes-Benz, respecting human rights and environmental standards is non-negotiable. The Raw Material Report outlines our activities to respect human rights and to mitigate environmental risks in raw material supply chains.
We analyze 24 critical raw materials on human rights and environmental risks and take measures to reduce these risks. By 2025, we plan to assess 70 percent of the 24 raw materials identified by us. By 2028, appropriate measures for the prevention, reduction, or termination of violations of human rights and environmental standards should be defined for all critical raw materials.
In 2022 the first “Raw Material Report” published the assessments for the first six raw materials aluminum, cobalt, lithium, mica, tin and tungsten. Throughout the year 2023, the scope of the Raw Material Report has grown to over 15 raw materials, and in 2024, two new raw materials have been added. The latest Raw Material Report gives more insights on how we work with our direct business partners to drive effective due diligence management systems in the supply chain.
