Continental Wins Recognition for Second Consecutive Year
AUBURN HILLS, Mich., April 6 /PRNewswire/ -- For the second year in a row
Continental Automotive Systems has won a Toyota Supplier Diversity Award for
the company's performance and contribution in support of Toyota's diversity
goals.
The award was presented recently at Toyota's Annual Business Meeting and
Awards Ceremony, which brought together approximately 500 of the automaker's
North American suppliers. At the event, Toyota recognized the outstanding
performance of its suppliers and shared expectations for the coming year.
Continental has developed programs both inside and outside the company in
support of Toyota's diversity goals. Their aim is to help encourage and
develop growth, as well as to realize the mutual benefits of a robust and
vibrant minority supplier base.
"Continental Teves has achieved this award by making diversity a company
priority and searching out opportunities for minority suppliers in all of our
company business," said Debra Martin, Continental Teves director of Minority
Supplier Development. "We use a pre-screening process to optimize time and
effort for both Continental and the minority supplier and provide feedback on
any business bids the supplier may not have won. This helps to facilitate
continuous improvement."
"We are very pleased to have achieved this recognition from Toyota for the
second year in a row and we feel strongly that having a diverse supply base is
a huge competitive advantage," said Jeff Klei, vice president sales and
marketing, Continental Automotive Systems, N.A.
