Daimler Truck Holding AG

###### Sustainable Corporate Management

GRI 102-18/-19/-20/-21/-22/-23/-31/-32 SDG 16

Daimler Truck takes on responsibility – in an economical,
environmentally friendly, and socially acceptable manner.
Sustainable corporate governance, leading compliance
management standards and transparent reporting are central
principles for Daimler Truck.

###### Management and Organizational Structures prior to the Spin-Off
The central management body for sustainability at the former
Daimler AG, which was also responsible for Daimler Truck AG
until the end of November 2021, was the Group Sustainability
Board (GSB). It reported to the Board of Management of former
Daimler AG. The GSB has a shared management structure,
the Board of Management (BoM) member responsible for
Integrity and Legal Affairs and the BoM member responsible
for Development & Purchasing; also Mercedes-Benz Cars Chief
Technology Officer) serving as Co-chairs. The Chairman of
the Board of Management and other members of the Board
with responsibility for finances, marketing & sales and Greater
China were represented on the GSB. The operational work was
performed by the Sustainability Competence Office (SCO) of
former Daimler AG, which was staffed by representatives from
the Integrity & Legal, Development & Procurement departments,
Group Strategy and Group Communications.

In order to underscore our acceptance of responsibility for the
environment and society, even before the spin-off from former

Daimler AG, we at Daimler Truck had already set up a futureoriented corporate governance. This covers all business areas
and defines responsibilities for key topics of the sustainable
business strategy.

###### Management and organizational structures after the spin-off
Since the spin-off came into effect, the Supervisory Board
of Daimler Truck Holding AG has been kept informed about
sustainability issues. The Supervisory Board and the Audit
Committee of Daimler Truck Holding AG will regularly deal
with sustainability topics such as the legal requirements of
the German Supply Chain Act and sustainability reporting at
their meetings.

The management and organizational structures are designed to
support our sustainability goals with sustainability governance.
The central management- and decision-making body for all
sustainability topics (Corporate Sustainability Board – CSB)
will operate from the Board of Management levels of Daimler
Truck Holding AG and Daimler Truck AG. Under the leadership
of the Chairman of the Board of Management, the Corporate
Sustainability Board will meet at least twice a year in the future.

After the spin-off from former Daimler AG, Daimler Truck
has set up a Sustainability Steering Committee (SSC) for the
implementation and further development of sustainability
matters. This committee's members will be senior management
representatives from the segments, headed by represen­
tatives from various functional units – including Research &

Development, Production, Procurement, Corporate Strategy,
Human Resources, Finance and Accounting, External Affairs
and Corporate Communications. Since 2022, the SSC has been
meeting at least once a quarter under the direction of the Chief
Legal & Compliance Officer.

Processing the focus areas of the sustainable business strategy
will be organized and structured by the respective responsible
departments. Progress made and important decisions will be
reported or presented to the Sustainability Steering Committee
and the Corporate Sustainability Board.

A Sustainability management team within the Legal &
Compliance department deals with the sustainability
governance matters for Daimler Truck. Besides sustainability
reporting, its responsibilities include sustainability topics for the
sustainable strategy, human rights compliance and stakeholder
management.

Dialogue with politics and society [...] We define political representation as the constant dialog with decision-makers at various political levels. These include politicians, members of the government, public officials and representatives of interest groups, trade organizations and associations, which in turn maintain political contacts. We have set out our own principles for political dialog and for the responsible representation of interests and, with involvement of the management, compiled them into a Group policy. We follow the principle of political restraint and neutrality in our dealings with governments, political parties, delegates and officials. In addition, we have defined binding internal guidelines, which are laid down in the Daimler Truck Code of Conduct, among other things. Dealing with grants, making party donations and approaches to the political representation of our interests is also governed by our Group policy on lobbying and political and party donations. Daimler Truck AG is listed in the EU transparency register as well as in the lobby register for representation of interests to the German Bundestag and the German Federal Government. Employees of Daimler Truck controlled Group companies who represent political interests must report and register with the relevant department in accordance with the Group policy on lobbying work. With the above-mentioned tools we want to ensure that the political representation of our interests complies with applicable regulations and ethical standards. In this respect, we are especially careful to observe antitrust requirements when working in industry associations and cooperating with other companies. The policies mentioned above also define how we intend to address risks in connection with the political representation of our interests. We also address these risks in compliance processes applicable throughout the Group. Feedback related to our activities in the area of political representation of interests can also be captured by our whistleblowing system SpeakUp. In the reporting year we did not make any donations, neither monetary nor in kind, to political parties in any part of the world. This decision has been made independent of current political or economic events.
