Mercedes-Benz follows an integrated approach to environmental protection. We therefore address various causes of possible environmental impact. We want to reduce the possible negative effects of our business activities with the help of effective environmental management systems.
These environmental and energy management systems ensure clear responsibilities, transparent and standardized implementation of both internal and external environmental protection and energy efficiency requirements, and thorough reporting at our locations worldwide. As part of the local environmental management systems and the overarching Group-wide risk assessments, Mercedes-Benz checks its operations for legal compliance in areas such as waste management, air emissions, wastewater discharge and soil/groundwater pollution, as well as the handling of environmentally harmful substances.
