The Road to Better

THE ROAD TO BETTER

Saving billions of gallons of water. Working to reduce waste to zero. Incorporating sustainable materials in our vehicles. Transitioning more of our manufacturing to renewable, carbon free electricity. It’s going to take some work. But that’s what we do best. This is the road we’re on at Ford. The Road To Better.

THE ROAD TO A MORE INCLUSIVE, EQUITABLE SOCIETY

We want to help build a more just society. We are resolved to preserve or create the conditions that people need to thrive.

ACCELERATING OUR PROGRESS TO CARBON NEUTRALITY

We are taking action to achieve carbon neutrality no later than 2050, and in Europe no later than 2035, focusing on three areas that account for approximately 95% of our carbon emissions: our vehicles, operations and supply chain.

INVESTING IN RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY

We are moving toward 100% carbon-free electricity globally and bringing more renewable energy onto the grid — in 2022, more than 60% of electricity for our global operations was carbon-free.

Creating a Carbon Neutral Supply Chain

Ford is the first U.S. automaker to bring our global supply chain to Manufacture 2030 to help our suppliers meet their carbon reduction targets, and joined the First Movers Coalition to help commercialize zero-carbon technologies.

THE ROAD TO PROGRESS

Our work in product development, electrification and connectivity will make EVs safe and affordable for all. At the same time, we remain committed to improving fuel economy, reducing emissions and innovating across our entire portfolio of vehicles.

LEADING THE TRANSITION TO EVS

From the Mustang Mach-E to F-150 Lightning and the E-Transit, driving a Ford EV that is charged using U.S. grid-average electricity can reduce lifetime carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 55-60% compared to driving a similar internal combustion engine vehicle.

IMPROVING OUR VEHICLES

In addition to EVs, a full range of fuel-efficient internal combustion, plug-in hybrid and traditional hybrid engine vehicles give our customers lower emissions options as we build the path toward carbon neutral transportation.

BUILDING OUR CHARGING NETWORK

We’re making the shift to electric vehicles easy with FordPass and the BlueOvalTM Charging Network, giving EV drivers access to over 26,000 charging stations with 84,000 plugs in North America and over 450,000 plugs in Europe.

THE ROAD TO SUSTAINABLE GROWTH

We will make progress only when we work together. At Ford, we are collaboration-driven, and we strive to act with transparency, integrity and honesty. This is the foundation of the trust we build with our employees, our customers and suppliers, our shareholders and our communities.
