Information about the minimumwages across countries in which theGroup’s companies are located is notcentrally available. The “standardentry salaries” are specific toparticular groups within theworkforce (e.g. industrial employees,university graduates, temporaryworkers during vacations etc.). Asmany of our companies are bound bycollective bargaining agreements, andalso because employee remunerationis market-oriented, the standard entrysalaries do generally lie above thecountry- or industry-specificminimum wages.

205-2 Communication andtraining about anti-corruption policiesand procedures





Not applicable

a. & d. The central governance bodyof Daimler AG is the SupervisoryBoard. The work of the SupervisoryBoard is not organized according toregions but rather according tofunctional criteria. As a result,differentiating the information abouttraining courses on anti-corruptionactivities according to regions wouldnot provide any additionalinformation. The members of theSupervisory Board bear soleresponsibility for taking part in theeducational and training measuresthat they need in order to performtheir duties, and they receive supportfor these activities from Daimler AG.

e. We publish the absolute number ofemployees who were trained incorruption-prevention methods duringthe reporting year. The defined cyclesfor these training courses areoriented according to the regularlyassessed need for them. In line withthis information, Daimler pursues atarget group-specific and risk-basedtraining strategy. Because of thissystematic training strategy, we donot believe that publishing thepercentage of participating workerscompared to our total workforcewould be meaningful. Not all of ouremployees have the same need forthese training courses, and thereforesuch figures should not be used asthe basis for determining the rate ofparticipation in corruption-preventiontraining courses.

function (this is a target group-oriented and risk-based approach).This is because we believe that adifferentiation according to employeecategories and regions would not bemeaningful enough to help us make acontextual assessment of themeasures carried out to preventcorruption.

The duty of confidentiality

c. We also formulate clear compliancerequirements for our businesspartners. For strategic reasons, we donot communicate specific key figuresregarding our business partners andtheir anti-corruption measures.

205-3 Confirmed incidentsof corruption andactions taken





Confidentiality constraints

b. Generally, Daimler does not provideany information about humanresources measures taken againstemployees. We are convinced thatproviding such information wouldcontravene our employees’ personalrights as well as our duty of care asan employer. Because of the smallnumber of cases of corruption thatare publicly reported, it would bepossible to deduce the humanresources measures taken againstindividuals affected. Irrespective ofthis policy, Daimler does not receiveany information about the outcome ofany criminal proceedings againstemployees. The company is not aparticipant in such criminalproceedings. As a result, we cannotmake any statements as to whetheror not an accusation of corruptionhas been confirmed in criminalproceedings.

c. Daimler generally does not makeany statements about the totalnumber of confirmed cases in whichit terminated or refused to extendcontracts with business partnerseither extraordinarily or in connectionwith corruption.

In the future wewant to continually expand the use ofrenewable materials and integratethem into our calculation methods.

Today we are already using renewablematerials such as recycled plastics inmany components. As part of our lifecycle assessment of theMercedes-Benz car fleet, we reporton the average weight of thecomponents in which proportions ofrecycled materials and renewable rawmaterials are contained. A uniformdata collection process that enablesthe declaration of the percentages ofrecycled materials used by the entireDaimler Group and by all of itsdivisions has not yet beenimplemented. The growingimportance of such secondary rawmaterials is also reflected in ourambition to conserve resources: In2020 we plan to improve thecollection of data for the overallcalculation of our materials and toincrease transparency.

The specific values are calculated onthe basis of our consolidatedproduction locations’ quotient ofabsolute energy consumption and thenumber of vehicles produced, withregard to the respective division. Inthe category of energy consumptionwe also take into account ourproduction locations for majorassemblies, components, and CKDvehicles. The numbers of units referonly to Daimler vehicles (they do notinclude production for othercompanies). The specific informationpublished here diverges from thevalues that were used to define ourGroup’s targets for reducing thespecific energy consumption pervehicle by 2030.

• The target program of ourMercedes-Benz Cars division takesinto account the additional energylosses due to the expansion of thecentral power plants (CHP plants).
