Continental Tire Reacts to Minority inclusion Demonstration
Continental Tire is coming to Clinton, but a group Wednesday is protesting, saying developments like that one often exclude minorities in the planning process.
That group met outside of Clinton City Hall. They say their issue isn’t directly with Continental Tire. They are basing their concerns on past projects….
…In response to the demonstration, the tire plant sent us over a statement reading:
Continental is committed to supplier diversity. For 17 years we have had a program in place to increase our supplier diversity. For more than 10 years, Continental has been a corporate member of the National Minority Supplier Development Council. We plan to continue our efforts to grow our minority supplier base during the construction and operation of our commercial vehicle tire (CVT) plant in Clinton, Mississippi.
