Visual Society and Governance.

Society & Governance.

The precondition for long-term success is acting in an ethically and legally responsible way towards all stakeholders. As a globally operating company, we are therefore constantly striving to contribute to a future-proof society.

We value a transparent dialogue with various players from the worlds of politics, academia, business and civil society. Beyond our actual business activities, we want to make a contribution to the common good. Through our extensive Corporate Social Responsibility engagement, we promote projects worldwide to foster ecological sustainability and strengthen communities. In addition to these two focus areas, we provide help when disasters happen and active support 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.
