Cultural diversity.

Internationality is a strategic field of action of our diversity, equity and inclusion management. This is because we see cultural diversity as a valuable asset to our company. Just as our customers can be found around the world, we are also internationally oriented and work together globally. For example, our software engineers are already jointly developing software for our vehicles across six different countries.

We want to bring different perspectives together at all levels of our hierarchy. Therefore, we promote intercultural competence within our workforce through internal programs and raise awareness, for example, with training on unconscious biases in interactions. We also offer international assignments for our employees. Thinking globally, personal development, and getting to know new cultures and working environments – these opportunities are offered to our employees in foreign assignments around the world.

With its values, Mercedes-Benz stands for respect, fairness and humanity. On the international day against racism, the company reiterates clearly that racism and agitation have no place, neither in society nor at Mercedes-Benz.
