Overview
With the Ambition 2039, Mercedes-Benz committed themselves to become a carbon-neutral* company by 2039 along their entire value chain. Hence Mercedes-Benz is not only taking responsibility for emissions that occur when using their vehicles, but also for emissions that occur when producing the vehicle. A huge proportion of these emissions do not occur at Mercedes-Benz locations, but in its supply chain. To develop a realistic yet ambitious decarbonization strategy, gaining transparency about emissions hotspots in the supply chain and quantifying potential reduction measures is crucial. Mercedes-Benz, therefore, decided to partner with Sphera’s Sustainability Consultants, leveraging their detailed life cycle assessment (LCA) models and supply chain expertise to address this need.
