Strategy and sustainability approach

• Sustainability is positioned as a driver of customer value, competitiveness and resilience, with execution balanced against profitability and a streamlined strategy closer to products.

• Priorities span decarbonisation, circularity, safety and people, supported by product KPIs with owners and measurable milestones.

• More than 40 new models are planned for 2025–27, including 14 fully electric launches; global BEV sales rose 61% YoY in Q3 2026 and Europe sales rose 78%.

• Electrification remains the main route to zero emissions, while adoption varies by market; management supports market-based policy, infrastructure investment and incentives.

Climate targets and decarbonisation

• By 2039 vs 2019, targets are 90% lower production CO2 emissions, 80% lower vehicle-use-phase emissions subject to market conditions, and 70% lower emissions across relevant value chains.

• Net zero is targeted in the following decade, with emissions reduced by at least 90% vs 2019 and remaining emissions below 10% permanently neutralized.

• The all-electric GLC has ~two-thirds lower CO2 emissions than its non-electric predecessor.

Supply chain and materials

• Assessments cover 72% of 24 identified critical raw materials, up from 65% last year, with 100% assessment targeted by 2028; the Raw Material Report addresses transparency, traceability and due diligence.

• High-voltage battery-cell emissions fell ~40%, saving ~3.1 tonnes of CO2 per battery.

• Hydro offtake covers at least 10% of primary aluminium demand, targeting 3.5 kg CO2e/kg by 2028 and 3.0 kg from 2030; Hydro CIRCAL use from 2027 targets no more than 2.0 kg CO2e/kg and at least 75% post-consumer recycled content.

• A Kumba Iron Ore–HyIron steel pilot demonstrated technical feasibility for hydrogen-based DRI; an MoU will advance validation toward industrial scale-up.

• Cooperation in the Democratic Republic of Congo supporting education, school transport and family livelihoods was extended through 2029, alongside efforts to combat child labor.
