Continental Tyre South Africa has achieved its continued certification for ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, confirming the Gqeberha-based tyre manufacturer’s proven commitment to sustainability and minimising its impact on the environment, while also creating a healthy and safe working environment for its employees, contractors and suppliers.
As the only Continental tyre manufacturing plant on the African continent, the German tyre manufacturer delivers products of the highest quality, supplying original equipment (OE) tyres to most of the major vehicle manufacturers and exporters in South Africa, while producing a wide range of passenger and light commercial vehicle tyres for the replacement segment in the country and exporting tyres to many markets across the world.
Continental Tyre SA first achieved ISO 14001:2015 certification in August 2015 and has maintained this status ever since for its comprehensive environmental management policies and systems. This includes an extensive range of practices that reduces energy and water consumption, minimises waste and bolsters its recycling initiatives. All of this forms part of Continental’s drive towards climate-neutral production across its global manufacturing network by 2040.
The company first obtained ISO 45001 certification in 2019 and has maintained an OHSAS 18001 since 2015, for its occupational health and safety management systems and continues to maintain this standard in line with the latest ISO 45001:2018 certification.
The ISO certification requires extensive ongoing work and dedication from the Continental team, and embodies the company’s focus on continuous improvement and excellence in all aspects of its manufacturing operations.
The goal of Continental Tires is to reduce its energy consumption globally by 20 percent by 20330 compared to 2018. Continental is aiming to achieve climate-neutral production by 2040 at the latest.
