The Mercedes-Benz campaign “You are the spark” celebrates and highlights the societal engagement of Mercedes-Benz employees and teams on a global scale, showing how their commitment makes a positive difference in communities locally and globally.

Throughout 2026, the campaign shares real stories and projects to make volunteering more visible, express appreciation for those involved, and inspire others to take part.

It is communicated through public-facing channels such as social media (e.g. LinkedIn) and the Mercedes-Benz websites, with a clear focus on the value and impact of volunteer work.
