Sustainability Report.

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.

In the reporting year, the Mercedes-Benz Group revised the strategic sustainability topics that the Group concentrates on. The perspectives of all relevant stakeholders were taken into account in this analysis process. With the six identified sustainability focus areas, the Mercedes-Benz Group addresses topics that are material for the environment, society and the company. These include: Decarbonisation, Resource Use & Circularity, Human Rights, Traffic Safety, Digital Trust and People.

For the 2024 financial year, the sustainability reporting is fully integrated into the annual report for the first time. To this end, the Group carried out a methodologically redesigned materiality assessment in accordance with the requirements of the CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) and ESRS (European Sustainability Reporting Standards). In this way, the company determined the material impacts of its business activities on the environment and society along the entire value chain as well as material sustainability-related risks and opportunities for the Mercedes-Benz Group which form the basis of the reporting.
