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 DaimlerChrysler Sustainability Task Force. The Task Force brings together those units related to sustainability. 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 in part on the basis of stipulations formulated by top management, as well as on the basis of discussions that take place within the Task Force and at the responsible specialist departments (as coordinated by TF representatives). Reviews and discussions with external experts (above and beyond external statements), as well as coordination with top management, are firm elements of the overall process. | ||
