Visual Decarbonisation.

Decarbonisation. Our steps in the transformation process.

We want to create long-term value – economically, ecologically and socially. One of our most important goals is decarbonisation, which is firmly anchored in our sustainable business strategy.

Decarbonisation along the entire value chain is the focus of our holistic approach, in line with our Ambition 2039.[1]The ambition of Mercedes-Benz Group is to reduce its CO₂ emissions by 2039 by 90 % in own production, by 80 % in vehicle use phase – as market conditions allow – and overall by 70 % across all relevant value chain stages compared to 2019. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz Group supports qualified climate change mitigation projects that meet recognized standards.
By 2049 at the latest, the Mercedes-Benz Group intends to achieve net-zero. Net-zero means that the CO₂ emissions will be reduced by at least 90% compared to 2019. Remaining CO₂ emissions (< 10%) will be neutralized permanently.
(further information see CTAP).

Mercedes-Benz aims to create the necessary conditions for the transformation to fully electric and software-driven mobility. The electrification of our vehicle fleet is an important lever for achieving our ambitious goals. The decarbonisation of the supply chain and production is also key focus of our actions. That's why we are addressing all areas of our business to emissions' reduction – step by step, measure by measure.
