Daimler’s Environmental Guidelines also serve as a strategic framework for the environmental protection activities associated with the sale of our products worldwide. They play a crucial role in the design and the operation of our dealerships and service centers. In Germany these guidelines serve as the basis for the environmental management of the German Mercedes-Benz Sales Organization (MBVD), which encompasses dealerships and Group-owned sales and service outlets. The environmental management’s matrix certification in accordance with the European Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS) is valid for 45 company-owned sales and service outlets and is thus the most extensive in the German automotive sales industry. The Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicle Center in Berlin is the first dealership in Germany to have received German Sustainable Building Certification. The building is supplied with CO2-neutral energy from a biomass power unit, while a low-temperature heating system reduces energy consumption. The facility is also equipped with a biological water treatment system.
