Internship in the field of renewable energies - energy supply strategy from November 2024

Sustainability and climate protection are an essential cornerstone of the corporate strategy of Mercedes-Benz Group AG. We already set the course towards balance sheet CO2 neutrality in 2019 with the ambition for our new vehicle fleet.

The Mercedes-Benz Group's ambition is for the entire Mercedes-Bent new vehicle fleet to be carbon-neutral across all stages of the value chain and the entire life cycle by 2039.

Our own Mercedes-Benz passenger car and van plants have been producing CO₂-neutral worldwide since 2022. This includes more than 30 car and van plants. An important part of this is battery production, which has also been CO₂-neutral worldwide since 2022.

We in the SC/SIG division are responsible for the energy supply and energy management of the global production and development sites. We attach great importance to our ecological and social responsibility and our commitment to sustainable action.

Our team plays a central role in the design of sustainable and innovative projects - from green electricity supply with Power Purchase Agreements, on-site PV systems or our own wind farm - to battery storage - to the decarbonization of heat supply.
