Mercedes-Benz outlined a range of intiatives to cut carbon from its products and supply chain at its online ESG Conference this week
At the online conference, the company outlined the main ways it was aiming achieve the ambitious cuts, including through electrification of its vehicle fleet (it will have nine EQ variant fully electric vehicles on the road in 2022), supported by green energy charging, and an extensive use of recycled materials and renewable energy in production.
Mercedes-Benz said it plans to account for more than 70% of its energy needs through renewable energy by 2030. That includes through solar and wind power at its own sites, as well as through further power purchase agreements (PPAs).
