Information about the minimumwages in the countries where 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 theminimum wages.

The reason why the information is notcategorized according to the plant/business activity is that the point ofreference for our risk assessment isthe level of the entity – in otherwords, the legal unit or themanagement unit. As a result of therisk assessment, Daimler assignseach controlled unit a final risk levelthat is based on all of that unit’sbusiness activities. Our risk analyses

show that the risk of corruption isespecially high in the case of salesactivities in high-risk countries and ofbusiness relations with wholesalersand general agents worldwide.Accordingly, one focus of our anti-corruption activities is on salescompanies in high-risk countries andon business relations withwholesalers and general agentsworldwide, where we implementtargeted risk-minimization measures.
205-2 Communication andtraining about anti-corruption policiesand procedures
SR > Integrity & ComplianceSR > Integrity & Compliance
A differentiation or breakdown of thedata by region would not bemeaningful, because the existence ofthree legally independent units(Mercedes-Benz AG, Daimler TruckAG, and Daimler Mobility AG) underthe umbrella of Daimler AG meansthat the Daimler Group is organizedby division and not by region.
205-2 a and d) The centralgovernance body of Daimler AG is theSupervisory Board. The work of theSupervisory Board is not organizedaccording to regions but ratheraccording to functional criteria. As aresult, differentiating the informationabout training courses on anti-corruption activities according toregions would not provide anyadditional information. The membersof the Supervisory 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.
205-2 c) We also formulate clearcompliance requirements for ourbusiness partners. For strategicreasons, we do not communicatespecific key figures regarding ourbusiness partners and their anti-corruption measures.
205-2 e) We publish the absolutenumber of employees who weretrained in corruption-preventionmethods during the reporting year.The defined cycles for these training

courses are oriented according to theregularly assessed need for them. Inline with this information, Daimlerpursues a target group-specific andrisk-based training strategy. Becauseof this systematic training strategy,we do not 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.
205-2 e) When we are determiningtraining needs and planning thecourses, we do not differentiate byregion, but rather by aspects such asa unit’s business model, its location ina specific high-risk country, and itsfunction (this is a target group-oriented and risk-based approach).That’s why 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.

205-3 a) The number of cases ofcorruption is reported in the“Compliance Management” chapter.Additional information about the typeof corruption is not provided. We donot give any details about the cases,due to the need to protect the privacyof the individuals affected and of thepeople who provide the information.
205-3 b and d) Generally, Daimlerdoes not provide any informationabout human resources measurestaken against employees. We areconvinced that providing suchinformation would contravene ouremployees’ personal rights as well asour duty of care as an employer.Because of the small number of casesof corruption that are publiclyreported, it would be possible to

Irrespective of this policy,Daimler does not receive anyinformation about the outcome of anycriminal 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.
205-3 c) Daimler generally does notmake any statements about the totalnumber of confirmed cases in whichit terminated or refused to extendcontracts with business partnerseither extraordinarily or in connectionwith corruption. Because of the smallnumber of individual cases — inrelation to the entire sales network ofthe Daimler Group — it would bepossible to identify the businesspartner in question in a certainregion. Such a procedure would notbe compatible with the professionalconfidentiality provisions regardingbusiness partners.

In line with OECD guidelines, DaimlerAG has been submitting to Germany’sFederal Central Tax Office a country-by-country (CbC) report as the“Ultimate Parent Entity” for the entireDaimler Group since financial year2016. The CbC report is distributed toall participating tax authorities aroundthe globe on the basis of bilateral andmultilateral agreements. Also in linewith OECD guidelines, the currentCouncil Directive (EU) 2016/881 andGerman tax law, Daimler chooses toforgo general publication of its CbCreports, as the required transparencyvis-à-vis fiscal authorities, which areable to appreciate the content of thefigures and data, has already beenguaranteed.

One of the central themes of ourenvironmental management is theresponsible use of water with regardto its sourcing, consumption,discharge, and effects due towastewater and process water.Examples of our measures for theefficient use of water are described inthe chapter “We are using water moreand more efficiently.” The status ofour international data regarding waterdoes not currently allow us to providea more differentiated overall accountof process water-related impacts. Weare planning to standardize andimprove the data situation in themedium term.

SR > Resource conservation To ensure the quality of thewastewater discharge, we not onlycomply with legal provisions (e.g.wastewater treatment, regularwastewater checks and theirdocumentation, etc.) but also takeadditional measures in order toimprove water quality and minimizethe risk of water pollution. In order toinitiate targeted measures at thelocations, we have, for example,developed the standard “Storm WaterProtection — Pollutant DischargeElimination” and applied it for manyyears. This standard serves as a basisfor the targeted improvement of waterquality.

The data for biogenic CO2 emissionswere not collected separately for2020, because these emissions areonly produced in a small amount. It isexpected that Ambition 2039 will leadto an increase in the use of biogenicfuels at the company. We thereforeplan to record biogenic CO2 emissionsbeginning in 2021.

We have reached our goals ofreducing our greenhouse gasemissions by 20 percent in absoluteterms and by 66 percent specificallybetween 1990 and 2020.
Numerous energy efficiency and CO2
reduction projects have helped toreduce our CO2 emissions. All of themare stored in our Group-widedatabase. Precisely detailed CO2
reductions resulting from thesemeasures cannot be provided reliablyon account of contrary effects (e.g.production increases, increased floorspace etc.) and the technical difficultyof measuring the reductions.However, the decrease of absoluteCO2 emissions does include thesereductions.

The legal regulations concerning theemission of ozone-depletingsubstances are complied with at allDaimler production sites. However,we cannot exclude the possibleemission of very small amounts ofozone-depleting substances. Theseemissions would be within the legallypermissible limits, and we thereforedo not separately collect the relevantdata.
