Social security: Retirement benefits and health care

A sound financial base, coupled with adequate risk assessments, forms the foundation of Daimler’s provisions for a secure retirement, or for the event that employees become unable to work anymore. The “Global Pension Guidelines” outline the way these goals should be reached. A special governance structure controls the Group’s worldwide pension plans, and any Group company wishing to change an existing pension scheme or introduce a new one must obtain approval to do so from the Global Pension Committee.
