Corporate environmental protection

Environmental Leadership Award

Daimler’s Environmental Leadership Award (ELA) will be presented for the eighth time in 2011. In the categories “Productionrelated environmental
protection,” “Productrelated environmental protection,” and “Outstanding
environmental commitment” this prize, which is awarded by the Board of Management, acknowledges environmental protection initiatives within the Group.

Projects are chosen for the ELA that make a significant contribution toward improving the environmental balance of the company’s production processes and products, and making them as environment-friendly
as possible. Projects that are distinguished by outstanding environmental management and serve to improve local and regional environmental conditions are likewise eligible for the ELA. This award sets out to stimulate
employees’ motivation and interest in matters of environmental protection.
