Continental

Continental, headquartered in Germany and operating in the sale, maintenance, and repair of motor vehicles and their parts, reported approximately 83.46 billion kg CO2e in total emissions for 2025. This figure encompasses Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. In the same year, Scope 1 emissions were approximately 599.61 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were about 107.78 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were significantly higher, estimated at around 82.75 billion kg CO2e, with the largest contribution from the use of sold products (approximately 68.54 billion kg CO2e) and purchased goods and services (approximately 8.81 billion kg CO2e).

In 2024, Continental's total emissions were approximately 100.25 billion kg CO2e. Scope 1 emissions were around 671.73 million kg CO2e, and Scope 2 emissions (market-based) were about 161.50 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions accounted for the vast majority, at approximately 99.42 billion kg CO2e.

Continental has established ambitious climate commitments, including a target for 100% carbon neutrality in its own operations by 2040. This goal encompasses Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 emissions. The company has also set an interim target to reduce its own emissions to 0.7 million metric tons of CO2 by 2030, representing a reduction of over 20% compared to 2023 levels for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Further, Continental has committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 75% by 2030 from a 2019 baseline, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30% over the same timeframe. They also aim to reduce indirect use-phase emissions associated with products used in motor vehicles by 30% by 2030. By 2035, Continental aims to reduce Scope 1 and market-based Scope 2 GHG emissions to an absolute value of 0.5 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
