Freedom To Act

Freedom to act and personal responsibility are the roots of Continental’s growth. We strengthen our vitality and sustainability by granting the greatest possible freedom to our employees early on in their career and encouraging them to use that freedom. At every level, we promote their enthusiasm that they self-organize their work and assume responsibility for the results.

We organize our interaction according to balanced rules. All individual contributions count, and we consolidate them to generate a maximum value contribution for our company and its stakeholders.

We respect the freedom of future generations and live up to our responsibility towards them. With our products and services, we help expand – and do not restrict – their opportunities for development.
