Brand wins top marks for its exemplary climate change mitigation endeavours
In 2022, Continental was awarded the highest rating by the international non-profit organization CDP for the fifth time in a row for its efforts in implementing measures and strategies to reduce emissions in the supply chain (Supplier Engagement Rating).
This puts Continental among the eight percent of companies who were awarded top marks by CDP in 2022 for their commitment in this area. Continental’s comprehensive approach of working closely with its suppliers to achieve broad improvements by involving as many stages of the supply chain as possible was recognized.
“We want higher efficiency and lower emissions. By 2050 at the latest, we want to achieve fully sustainable supply chains, and we are working at full speed to reach this goal. Receiving this score once again from CDP proves that we are on the right track to further reduce our emissions generated both within our company and externally,” asserted Claus Petschick, Head of Sustainability, Continental Tyres.
To assess the sustainability performance of suppliers, Continental has been working with EcoVadis, the world’s leading provider of sustainability ratings for companies and global supply chains, since 2017.
By 2030, Continental’s ambition is to exclusively use responsibly sourced natural rubber in its tyre production, a press communique concluded.
