Health and Safety
Appreciation for the human element in Continental’s production systems is considered one of the key points for the success of any program to be developed in the company. Considering our great concern with all employees and those involved in each project, we maintain a multidisciplinary HSE team working with the implementation of initiatives that enable the preservation of health and physical integrity of all. In this respect, the professionals in the HSE area stand out, including a safety engineer, an occupational physician, and safety technicians, who act in the elimination, control, and monitoring of risks, preventing accidents and diseases.
Sustainability
The concern with creating an ecologically sustainable system is not just a market issue. For Continental, taking care of the planet is to ensure that our children and grandchildren can, just like us, wake up every day to another beautiful day at work. With this in mind, all the resources we use here have the right origin and destination, always seeking zero negative impact.
Waste disposal plans and procedures are strictly followed, and environmental awareness projects are developed and practiced all the time. All the residues we generate are collected separately at the base, and their disposal is done by companies specialized in their treatment. All the environmental aspects of all our activities are continuously assessed to ensure that all impacts are eliminated whenever possible. This is awareness. This is Continental.
