      Corporate Culture & Values

      A corporate culture outlines what a company stands for. It indicates the values and standards used to guide decisions within the organization and defines how leadership is interpreted.

      At Continental, we cultivate a culture of beliefs based on four corporate values. We do this because we believe that it allows a working atmosphere of mutual appreciation with room for maneuver and personal responsibility to flourish. Find out more about our idealistic roots here.
