Innovation runs deep in the Mercedes-Benz DNA. Since 1886, we have pursued engineering excellence with a pioneering spirit, an unwavering drive to improve, and the ambition[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.
