Our Commitment to Human Rights.

Respect for human rights is a fundamental component of responsible corporate governance for the Mercedes-Benz Group. It is our aspiration and goal to ensure that human rights are respected in all our Group companies and that our suppliers also take them into account. To ensure the responsible sourcing of raw materials, we also work with associations, organisations and competitors where appropriate.
