The momentum of trust.
Annual Report 2010
Trust is always founded on the idea of mutuality and is a basic requirement for a functioning community. In order to develop trust, one needs security. Trust means being able to assume that developments will follow a positive or anticipated path and need not be continuously monitored. The notion of trust also implies that one has recourse to alternative actions. Indeed, this is the most important difference between trust and hope.
Trust is not merely anticipation; trust is an overall concept. But how is trust created and – once you have it – how do you retain it? What does trust mean for us in our daily interaction with other people and companies? And most importantly: What does it mean for us at a personal level and in our day-to-day work?
At Continental, we engage with these questions every day in dealings with our stakeholders. That is because our customers and employees, our investors and suppliers, our other business partners as well as persons living near our plants all trust in us, just as we do in them. Therefore, trust is the most important source of added value.
