UN Sustainable Development Goals

Ford has pledged to promote the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, by highlighting our strategic alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and communicating how our products and operations contribute toward achieving them.

The 17 SDGs were accepted by all the member countries of the UN in September 2015, as part of a new sustainable development agenda intended to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. The goals span economic, social and environmental challenges, and apply equally to developed, emerging and developing nations.

We continue to address those SDGs that most directly relate to our business and where we can add most value. As outlined in the index below, these include our ongoing efforts to reduce carbon and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions; reduce water consumption; strengthen communities; and maintain high standards for human rights and working conditions.

However, such global challenges require effective, multi-stakeholder collaboration at a local, national and international level. So as we continue to implement our sustainability and reach to help meet these ambitions, we also call on all our stakeholders and partners to join us in our efforts.
