DaimlerESG & Sustainability Jobs

German multinational automotive corporation known for its Mercedes-Benz luxury vehicles and commercial trucks

Daimler (now restructured into Mercedes-Benz Group and Daimler Truck Holding) was one of the world's largest manufacturers of premium passenger cars and commercial vehicles, operating brands including Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG, and a range of heavy trucks and buses sold globally.

Why it matters

The automotive sector is a major source of transport emissions, and Daimler committed to shifting its passenger car lineup toward battery-electric vehicles, targeting a fully electric portfolio where market conditions allow by 2030. Its truck division has been developing hydrogen fuel-cell and battery-electric heavy trucks, addressing one of the harder-to-decarbonize segments of road freight. The company also publishes sustainability reporting covering supply chain emissions, raw material sourcing (including battery minerals), and carbon reduction targets across its manufacturing operations.

With production plants on multiple continents and millions of vehicles sold annually, the scale of Daimler's transition - or lack thereof - carries significant weight for global transport emissions.
