Welcome to the 17th Mercedes-Benz Sustainability Dialogue

Seventeen years ago, we launched the "Mercedes-Benz Sustainability Dialogue" as a platform for exchange with our key stakeholders. We continued this tradition successfully in 2024 with events in Dresden, New Delhi, New York City, and Beijing. The highlight is our 17th Mercedes-Benz Headquarters Sustainability Dialogue, which will be held virtually this year.

With multiple crises unfolding around the globe, Mercedes-Benz top management and experts are looking forward to the dialogue to reflect on current national and international developments in sustainability and how we can overcome existing challenges and succeed with the transformation of the automotive industry and beyond.

We invite you to join the plenary part of the Sustainability Dialogue on November 20th from 9:00 a.m. to 11:15 a.m.. Ola Källenius and Renata Jungo Brüngger will open the dialogue with a strategy talk, followed by a discussion with Lord Adair Turner, Chair of the UK-based Energy Transitions Commission, on how to succeed with the Climate and Energy Transformation.

A panel discussion on the circular economy and its innovation potentials with Markus Schäfer, Jörg Burzer, and three external guests representing civil society, industry, and politics will complete the agenda.
