Our conviction: People are more motivated, productive and satisfied when they can bring their whole self to work. This is why at Mercedes-Benz we create and strongly promote equal opportunities at work. We foster a culture of appreciation and respect in which age, ethnic origin and nationality, gender and gender identity, physical and mental abilities, religion and belief, sexual orientation as well as social origin play no part.
