Visual Society and Governance.

Society & Governance.

Our long-term success is based on ethically and legally responsible actions towards all our stakeholders. As a globally operating corporate group, we are continuously striving to contribute to a more sustainable and future-proof society.

We see ourselves as part of society and attach great importance to a transparent dialogue with various stakeholders from politics, science, business, and civil society. Beyond our actual business activities, we want to make a relevant contribution to the common good. Through our extensive Corporate Citizenship engagement, we promote projects worldwide to foster ecological sustainability and strengthen community. In addition to these two focus areas, we help in disaster situations and contribute our share in acute emergencies and exceptional situations. Our actions are based on integrity and compliance: we not only adhere to external and internal rules, but also listen to our inner compass.

For Daimler, compliance, integrity and legal responsibility are inseparable from our daily business activities.
