For Mercedes-Benz, sustainability is a high priority. The Group acts on the basis of the sustainable business strategy. In doing so, Mercedes-Benz takes into account, among other things, relevant regulatory requirements, the expectations of external and internal stakeholders and global trends – along the entire value chain of our business activities. To drive the company's sustainable transformation, it concentrates on six strategic focus areas: Decarbonisation, Resource Use & Circularity, Human Rights, Traffic Safety, Digital Trust and People. With these six focus areas, Mercedes-Benz concretises its sustainable business strategy in these areas and further embeds sustainability aspects into daily business practices: from reducing CO₂ emissions and increasing the proportion of recycled materials in vehicles to greater road safety, respect for human rights, trust in digitalisation to the socially responsible transformation of the company.
