Organization of Environmental Protection

At Continental, the “Corporate Quality and Environment” department, which reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for environmental protection. It is from there that the strategic specifications for environmental protection are issued to the Corporation’s divisions. The two Tire divisions and the three Automotive divisions of Continental are organizationally combined when it comes to environmental protection. The environmental managers for each division are networked with their relevant divisions at the individual Company locations. Depending on requirements, the local environmental managers simultaneously have authority over environmental protection matters on a regional basis.

With its lean organizational structure, Continental is able to communicate its strategic goals directly, and to implement them efficiently. At the same time, the divisional structure of the environmental protection function ensures the necessary freedom for specific ecological standards within the Corporation’s various fields of activity.
