Overview

DaimlerChrysler is a stock corporation with its domicile in Germany. Accordingly, its legal framework for corporate governance derives from German law. Because the company’s shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), it also adheres to U.S. capitalmarket legislation and listing requirements. DaimlerChrysler strives to contribute towards a more practically oriented harmonization of the existing international stipulations. Above and beyond the requirements of legislation, DaimlerChrysler’s actions are oriented toward internationally recognized principles (such as those of the Global Compact) and guidelines (for example of the International Labour Organization or the OECD guidelines for multinational enterprises). www 4
