Not reported on, as it is not relevant for Daimler.
Internal assessments of environmental risk
conducted at Daimler list all the production
facilities located in protected or environmentally
endangered areas. At the moment, only the
production plant in Rastatt, Germany, is located
near a nature reserve (as defined by EU Directive
92/43/EEC of May 21, 1992 on the Conservation
of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and
Flora). Appropriate measures in this regard were
decided upon during the planning stage for the
production facility. The facility plan also set
aside special areas at the location to accommodate
rare and endangered species. The associated
measures received a positive review from
independent external auditors ten years after
the launch of production activities in Rastatt.
No direct effects on biodiversity.

In accordance with the Montreal Protocol on
Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer, as
well as various national regulations, the use of
substances that damage the ozone layer is
limited to the amounts needed to maintain the
operation of existing production equipment that
requires them. The particularly dangerous
substances R11 and R12 have been replaced
worldwide with less critical materials. No
measurements are made of the quantity of
ozone-depleting substances used for the
operation of existing production equipment at
international production locations.
Only solvent emissions are reported on in the
brochure; other airborne emissions are reported
on in the Internet.
