The GRI-oriented annual report “Facts on
Sustainability” and the associated Internet
presentation are created by means of a
systematic process as an integral part of the
work performed by the Daimler Sustainability
Office. This office (the successor of the
Sustainability Task Force) is a component of the
governance structure that was newly established
in 2007 and corresponds to the work level of the
Sustainability Board (see p. 13, Facts 2008). The
Sustainability Office brings together the units
related to sustainability (corresponding to their
membership in the Sustainability Board). Their
work is coordinated by the Communications,
External Affairs and Public Policy, and
Environmental Protection departments.
The definition and creation of GRI and sustainability-related
content (keyword: Materiality) is
thus carried out on the basis of stipulations
formulated by top management, the Sustainability
Board (including the Sustainability
Office), and the responsible specialist
departments. Reviews and discussions with
external experts (above and beyond external
statements), as well as coordination with top
management, are also established elements of
the overall process.
