Soil conservation and remediation
Keeping soil and groundwater clean is one of the most important aspects of environmental protection at Daimler.
The primary goal in this area is to prevent any contamination from the outset. Technical equipment such as
catchment trays, double-walled containers, sealed floor coverings, and leakage warning systems help prevent
water-polluting fluids from leaking into the ground. Because legal stipulations vary greatly worldwide, the Group
has put together internal guidelines that will establish minimum standards for soil and groundwater protection at
all of its facilities around the globe.
