Continental

Continental is going on the offensive with respect to the central theme of the sustainability of humankind, and has set itself some ambitious goals in this respect. 

June 27, 2024 At its meeting today, the Supervisory Board of Continental AG appointed Olaf Schick (52) as the company’s new chief financial officer (CFO) effective July 1. In addition to Group Finance and Controlling, Schick will remain responsible for Group Law and Intellectual Property, Group Compliance, Group Internal Audit, Group Quality Management and Group Risks and Controls, all of which are currently part of the Integrity and Law function.

Continental is well positioned for the future - as the mobility and material technology group for safe, smart and sustainable solutions.

Today's advanced driver assistance systems provide the basis for the automated driving of the future. Continental is using its full innovative power to drive forward this trend and developing intelligent technologies that take over more and more driving functions – as long as the driver wants them to. The advantage: more safety, more convenience, more efficiency.

Technologies around clean and sustainable mobility are being enhanced further across the globe, with continued focus on electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Continental develops innovations to support the requirements of customers around the areas of vehicle safety, battery, sensors, braking, information management and tires, to elevate their holistic electrification journey.

More than one billion vehicles worldwide are responsible for not only increased traffic volumes, but also a rising number of accidents. To reduce the number of road deaths and amount of material damage as much as possible, Continental is always working on new systems that improve vehicle safety in all vehicle classes. Our aim: zero accidents – “Vision Zero.”

Continental connects vehicles and people with the digital world. We develop and enable holistic connectivity solutions. We provide connectivity within the vehicle itself as well as with other vehicles and the outside environment. New possibilities are also emerging from the development of intelligent transport systems. In the future, cloud-based software solutions will offer more convenience not only for the driver and passengers, but also for the transport industry.
