Sustainability ambition
Sustainability is anchored in the foundation of our values and is vital to our vision of “Creating value for a better tomorrow”. This is the basis we work on, guiding our company and taking us into the future.
Continental is convinced that sustainable and responsible business increases our ability to innovate and meet the future – adding value to the company. This is why sustainability is firmly integrated in our corporate strategy, as part of the pillar “turning change into opportunity”.
In a systematic process that included market analyses, customer discussions and a stakeholder survey, a new framework was defined in 2020. At the heart of this is our sustainability ambition. It defines our four strong focus areas and our eight sustainability essentials. The ambition also describes how we want to shape the transformation in the relevant areas with respect to sustainability in order to seize opportunities and mitigate risks.
