OUR PURPOSE

We are here for one purpose, to help build a better world, where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams.

Our Purpose - Why we exist, and the guiding principle for our company.

OUR PURPOSE AS A COMPANY

To help build a better world, where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams.

We believe in the power of creating a world with fewer obstacles and limits, where people have the freedom to build a better life and pursue their dreams.

 

To shorten the distance between where you are and where you want to go.

 

To connect people down the road and over the horizon — to discover possibilities, and enjoy the thrill, adventure and pride of moving freely.

 

From day one, we've provided people with tools to help them move forward and upward.

We've innovated to expand their opportunities. And we've worked to earn their trust, every single day.

 

We honor our legacy as we build the future – a better world for generations to come. Because when everyone is free to move, and free to dream, we do what we do best: we change the world.

"WHAT MAKES THIS COMPANY DIFFERENT IS THAT FORD HAS A HIGHER PURPOSE. WE SERVE OTHERS AND IMPROVE LIVES…WE TRY TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE."

Jim Farley

Chief Executive Officer, Ford Motor Company
