Social Responsibility: Our Philosophy - Strong Communities Inside and Out
At Daimler Financial Services, the true purpose of our social responsibility efforts is to build strong communities both inside our company and in the areas where we live and work.
We strive to have our internal community
  • reflect the diverse population we serve,
  • filled with the sounds of energetic, inspired employees and
  • represent an innovative environment that embraces and rewards new ways of thought.
We strive to have our external community
  • look clean and full of life,
  • filled with the sounds of businesses flourishing and children learning and laughing and
  • safe, inspired and encouraged to celebrate art and cultural diversity.
Our vision for strong communities is clear and we are taking action to ensure we achieve our goals, both inside our company and out. We embrace the ideal that successful corporations have responsibilities to their communities and, given that belief, we strive to lead in every aspect of our business in order to positively impact our local and global communities. Daimler Financial Services employees understand that an important part of being a successful company is giving back to our community. People are at the heart of our business.
We are very proud that social responsibility is one of our core values and is engrained into the corporate culture of our organization. You’ll find Daimler Financial Services and our employees participating in charitable, educational and cultural initiatives across the Americas, donating time, providing counsel and contributing financially to community organizations.
Our commitment to social responsibility is also illustrated through our Community Service Day Policy. Every employee at Daimler Financial Services Americas is given one paid day off to volunteer at the nonprofit organization of his/her choice. Additionally, most departments choose to be involved in a variety of community service team-building projects throughout the year. These opportunities have included renovating baseball fields in underprivileged neighborhoods, helping out at local food banks or providing reading and art enrichment programs to underserved school children.
