Dear Stakeholders,
Around the globe, we offer products and services in the transportation and energy sectors,
both of which are increasingly significant factors in climate change. For this reason, we have
a responsibility to contribute to the reduction of the global carbon footprint. An undertaking
on this scale calls for a commitment by the entire Company supported by all our employees.
We have set ourselves an ambitious target: a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions from our
own operations by 2020. To achieve this, and to reduce the carbon footprint of our products,
we have launched a number of climate initiatives. We see climate protection and economic
efficiency as two sides of the same coin — because cutting fuel consumption also means
lower CO2 emissions.
Yours,
Dr. Georg Pachta-Reyhofen

MAN’s Climate Strategy
MAN’s Climate Strategy: Mandatory Targets
Climate change is one of the most important global challenges faced by governments, businesses, and society. And anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions are among the primary
causes of climate change. Today the transportation sector is responsible for approximately
15% of global CO2 emissions, a figure that is expected to reach 22% by 2020.
By now, many nations have set mandatory climate protection targets. At the same time, many
European Union member states are applying increasingly stringent Euro emissions standards
for trucks, while the United Nations has issued Tier III standards for marine engines. Our CO2efficient product and service portfolio facilitates compliance with climate protection targets
and regulatory requirements. Resource efficiency has long since become a competitive factor.
MAN is aiming to make a significant contribution to cutting CO2 emissions while using the
associated business opportunities to its advantage. With this in mind, we commissioned an
internal team of experts to draw up a climate strategy. The resultant strategy was approved
by the Management Board of MAN SE in September 2011 and presented to MAN Group
managers at the MAN Summit. It now forms part of the MAN CR Strategy and supports the
attainment of our corporate goals.

MAN’s Climate Strategy
Cornerstones of Our Climate Strategy
As a globally active corporation in the fields of transportation and energy, MAN bears responsibility for its production processes and for its products.
Production: MAN has 31 production sites in 13 countries. These facilities consume raw
materials and electricity and use resources to generate energy, which causes CO2 emissions.
Products: MAN develops products and services for the transportation of passengers and
goods, as well as for energy generation. These are high-growth sectors, which implies rising
CO2 emissions.
We can make an important contribution to climate protection, not only at our sites, but
through our products and services as well. MAN takes this responsibility seriously. As a first
step, we have set ourselves the goal of cutting CO2 emissions at MAN sites by 25% by
2020 — a target we intend to meet by implementing the five core initiatives developed by our
Climate Expert Team and launched in 2011.

MAN’s Climate Strategy
Acknowledge responsibility
Dilemma and approach
The transportation and energy
sectors are contributing to climate
change to an ever-greater extent.
The interaction between our
own product development, our
suppliers, legislation, and our
customers and their customers
is complex.
MAN’s Climate Strategy
Climate change is among the greatest challenges to humanity. MAN is fully aware of and acknowledges its
responsibility to contribute to reducing the global carbon footprint of the transportation and of the energy sector.
MAN has set itself the target of reducing its own CO2 emissions by 25% by 2020
(baseline: 2008).
Vision
Commitment
Our target: reduce our own
CO2 emissions by 25% by 2020
(baseline: 2008).
By 2020, our aim is to be
recognized as one of the industry
players to have dealt with the
challenges of climate change
the best.

MAN’s Climate Strategy
Core Initiatives for Climate Strategy Implementation
1.
25% reduction in CO2 emissions at MAN sites
by 2020 (baseline: 2008)
We will reduce CO2 emissions at MAN sites by improving energy efficiency,
using renewable energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal), generating energy
using combined heat and power (CHP) plants, and through integrated energymanagement technology and organization.
2.
Consistently Efficient product portfolio
We position ourselves in the commercial vehicles and power engineering sectors with sustainable products and services.
3.
Customer involvement and dialog
We involve our customers and talk to them about ways to reduce the global carbon footprint. After all, many of our customers have already set themselves
ambitious targets for cutting CO2 emissions.
4.
Potential for reducing CO2 emissions along
the product life cycle
To identify potential for reductions, we measure CO2 emissions along the entire
product life cycle.
5.
Climate strategy management
We manage the implementation of our climate strategy and have defined KPIs
that are regularly measured and published.

Our Sites
Resource conservation is the most significant challenge faced by MAN — a point confirmed
by our stakeholder surveys of the last two years. Our first core initiative was developed in
response to this challenge. Our target is a 25% reduction in CO2 emissions at our sites
by 2020, which represents an annual reduction of around 125,000 tons of carbon dioxide
compared with 2008.
This production-related climate goal will be met by making our production sites more energy
efficient and improving the energy-management technology and organization in our buildings
and production halls. In 2012 we will analyze the feasibility of using our own MAN combined
heat and power (CHP) plants to generate electricity at the sites with the highest energy consumption levels. In addition, we will step up our efforts to use renewable energies such as
geothermal, biomass, wind, and solar energy at all our sites. This will allow us to cut our CO2
emissions and keep our energy costs from rising, giving us a competitive edge.

MAN’s Climate Strategy
Our Products
In order to further reduce the carbon footprint of our products, we analyze the product life
cycle to determine at what stage they produce the most CO2 emissions. We have already
analyzed 40% of all MAN products. We found that up to 90% and more of emissions arise
during the service life of the products. This means that the most effective way for us to cut
CO2 emissions is by using energy-efficient technologies in our products. We are working on
this, firstly by further developing our “Consistently Effficient” product portfolio and secondly,
by talking to our customers to find shared solutions to the global challenges of climate
change. By optimizing the way in which they use our products, our customers can cut fuel
consumption and therefore CO2 emissions even further, a process we support by offering
training courses for professional drivers and operators of large-bore diesel engines.
Lowering the CO2 emissions of our products by 20% or more during the service life of our
products is one of MAN’s largest undertakings, one in which we must take due account not
only of the regulatory environment but also of the pressures of international competition.
However, we believe this is a realistic goal and we will be doing our utmost to meet this challenge — not least by making our climate strategy an integral part of our managers’ annual
performance reviews and defining a specific reduction target for our products in 2013.
