ContinentalContinental has earned a Gold rating in the 2025 sustainability assessment by EcoVadis, one of the world’s most respected providers of corporate sustainability ratings. This outstanding recognition places the German technology leader among the top five percent of more than 130,000 companies assessed globally. The rating underscores Continental’s ongoing commitment to environmental protection, ethical governance, and socially responsible operations.
EcoVadis evaluates businesses across four pillars: environment, labour and human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. Continental received particularly high marks in the environmental and ethics categories. These results reflect the company's systematic approach to embedding sustainability into its core operations and business strategy.
The company has established ambitious climate targets, including becoming fully carbon-neutral across its own operations by 2040, and sourcing 100 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. In parallel, Continental has developed robust supply chain due diligence processes to ensure ethical sourcing and responsible procurement throughout its global operations.
Continental CEO Nikolai Setzer expressed pride in the company’s achievement:
“We are proud to be recognised by EcoVadis once again with a Gold rating. This is a testament to our team's hard work and reinforces our strategic direction towards sustainability. Our goal is to create long-term value for all stakeholders while actively contributing to a more sustainable future.”

Continental’s Gold rating reflects not only its environmental commitment but also its broader approach to corporate responsibility. The company has implemented comprehensive employee welfare programmes, ensured compliance with international human rights standards, and promoted diversity and inclusion within the workplace.
Sustainability is deeply integrated into Continental’s innovation processes. Its products — particularly in the automotive and tyre sectors — are designed with recyclability, material efficiency, and low environmental impact in mind. The company has also launched digital systems to track emissions and improve transparency across its value chain, supporting data-driven sustainability improvements.
This EcoVadis rating sends a strong signal to Continental’s partners, customers, and investors. It enhances the company’s reputation as a trustworthy and future-focused brand, while also demonstrating resilience in a business environment that increasingly values ESG performance.
With sustainability expectations rising worldwide, Continental’s recognition as a Gold-rated business reaffirms that its long-term strategic goals are aligned with the global movement towards responsible industry practices. The company continues to lead by example, showing that commercial success and sustainability can go hand in hand.
