Mercedes-Benz AG's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Mercedes-Benz Group AG

Mercedes-Benz AG, headquartered in Germany, has set ambitious climate commitments to address its carbon emissions. The company aims to reduce its absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% by the year 2030, using 2018 as the baseline year. Additionally, Mercedes-Benz AG is committed to reducing Scope 3 emissions, specifically from the use of sold products, by 42% per vehicle kilometre by 2030, also from a 2018 baseline. These targets are aligned with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and are designed to support the global effort to limit temperature rise to well below 2°C. The commitments reflect a comprehensive approach to emissions reduction, focusing on both direct operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) and indirect emissions associated with product use (Scope 3). As part of its long-term strategy, Mercedes-Benz AG has not yet committed to a net-zero target but has established significant near-term goals that demonstrate its dedication to sustainability and climate action. The emissions data and targets are cascaded from the parent company, Mercedes-Benz Group AG, which oversees the broader corporate climate initiatives.
