What's our recipe for success? 🏆 In a speech, our CEO Christian Koetz shared the four key ingredients behind Continental’s winning formula. A mix that's as carefully balanced as the compounds in our tires: ✔ Top technology – with ultra-high-performance (UHP) tires of 18 inches and above leading the way for SUVs and EVs ✔ State-of-the-art manufacturing – more than 14,000 different products produced across our 19 tire plants worldwide ✔ Efficient distribution – over 90% of our tire orders in Europe delivered the very next day ✔ A strong brand – powered by a committed team, with podium placements in more than 80% of expert tests across all three world regions last year As Christian put it: " We are looking to the future with confidence." For us, it all comes down to contact: the contact our tires have with the road and the contact we at Continental have with our customers and teams.

Responsibly sourcing natural rubber starts literally at the source. The global natural rubber supply chain is highly fragmented and complex, making transparency and sustainability a shared challenge across the entire industry. That´s why we’ve been working closely with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH since 2018 on a project in Borneo, Indonesia – engaging directly with local stakeholders to make natural rubber sourcing more responsible. Together, we’re making real impact on the ground: 🤝 Training smallholder farmers on sustainable cultivation practices 🌳 Improving rubber quality while strengthening local livelihoods 📱 Increasing transparency through digital technologies along a traditionally fragmented supply chain

Was passiert, wenn Kunden und Mitarbeiter gemeinsam den Arbeitsalltag verlassen? 👉 Aus Einzelpersonen wird in kürzester Zeit ein echtes Team. Beim Kundenevent am DFB‑Campus in Frankfurt wurde genau das erlebbar. Am 7. Mai 2026 kamen 22 Kunden und Mitarbeiter zusammen – mit einem klaren Ziel: Austausch neu denken und Verbindungen stärken. Der Tag startete entspannt mit einem gemeinsamen Mittagessen und führte anschließend auf eine exklusive Tour über den DFB‑Campus, inklusive Einblicken in das Archiv der DFB‑Akademie. Die besondere Atmosphäre zwischen Trainingsplätzen, Geschichte und Arbeitsbereichen des deutschen Fußballs sorgte für den perfekten Rahmen. Dann ging es auf den Platz: Nach der Vorbereitung in den Kabinen der Nationalmannschaft traten beide Teams – stilecht im Heimtrikot der WM 2026 – zu einem Freundschaftsspiel gegen die DFB‑Betriebsmannschaft an. Einsatz, Teamgeist und Fairness standen dabei klar im Vordergrund. Der wichtigste Faktor des Tages zeigte sich jedoch abseits des Ergebnisses: das Miteinander. Auf und neben dem Platz entstanden Gespräche, Verbindungen und echtes Vertrauen. Der gemeinsame Abend in Frankfurt bot dafür den idealen Ausklang. Fazit: Persönliche Erlebnisse schaffen Bindung und sind die Grundlage für starke, langfristige Partnerschaften.

Did you know that up to 100 different raw materials go into making a single tire? At the heart of it all is natural rubber – harvested from the latex of the rubber tree and transformed into a high-performance product. But natural rubber alone doesn't make a tire. It needs the right "recipe," as our CEO Christian Koetz explains: carbon black, silica and many other components, carefully balanced to unlock the full potential of this remarkable material. Depending on the tire type, natural rubber makes up 10% to 20% of a passenger car tire and up to 40% of a truck tire – delivering the strength, flexibility and durability that keep the world moving. And how we source it matters just as much as how we process it: Learn more: https://ow.ly/AcjU50YXzJm

Great brands don’t just collect data; they create space for real voices to be heard. At Continental, listening starts with respect. We pay attention to what our customers share, their opinions, their experiences, and their expectations, because it helps us understand what truly matters to them. Not to monitor, but to learn. Not to observe from a distance, but to build better connections grounded in trust and transparency. This mindset is at the core of how we turn feedback into action. It guides how we improve, innovate, and show up for our customers every day. We’re proud that this human approach to understanding customers has been recognized by The Social Intelligence Lab, naming Continental a 2026 Social Intelligence Insider 50 Bold Brand and runner-up among those shaping real business impact. Because when you genuinely listen to people, you don’t just follow conversations, you create value together. #Continental #BrandLeadership #SocialIntelligence
