Ford's Community Business Principle encompasses the traditional areas of philanthropy and volunteerism, as well as the social, environmental and economic impacts of our operations in host communities and the working conditions under which our products are made.
These issues – which are broad and diverse in scope – are inherently linked to many parts of our business, and Ford uses a variety of policies, programs and processes to manage them. Central to our approach is the belief that effective and sustainable management of community issues means embedding them in our core business practices and seeking to manage them with the same rigor we do other aspects of our business.
