Continental Named Among World’s Most Sustainable Companies

Continental has been recognized by US magazine Time and the global data and business intelligence platform Statista as one of the 500 most sustainable companies in the world for 2024. This assessment is based on a special methodology developed by Time and Statista.
They evaluated a total of 5,000 companies based on their sustainability strategy and reporting, as well as more than 20 key indicators, including emissions intensity, energy consumption and share of renewable energies.

Continental achieved a rating of 61.39 out of a possible 100 points, placing it 265th in the ranking. In the automotive industry, the company is one of the top 10 companies.

A total of three tire manufacturers are among the world's 500 most sustainable companies. Continental is ranked second place.

Continental Tires is characterized by innovative technologies and sustainable solutions along the entire value chain: from the procurement of sustainable materials, through design and production, to the use phase and recycling of end-of-life tires.

The Tires group sector is demonstrating outstanding performance in all of the areas rated by Time and Statista.

All Continental tire plants are working on individual and company-wide solutions to achieve climate-neutral production by 2040 at the latest.

This year, Continental took an important step toward this goal at its tire plant in Lousado, Portugal. Here, the company can produce tires carbon-neutrally, which has been made possible thanks to steam generated by an electrically powered boiler. Continental generates the steam using both in-house produced solar power and renewable energy from the grid.
