Data Overview

Measuring Performance Against Our Business Principles

This table provides five-year performance data according to a set of key indicators. This table, the additional data and the performance sections of this report are all organized by Ford's Business Principles. The Business Principles guide our conduct and day-to-day decision-making in major areas of sustainability performance.

We have made some modifications to the table of indicators for this report. For our next report, we will conduct a full review of our sustainability indicators to ensure that they are aligned with our strategy and help to drive progress. We are also reviewing our indicators in light of the revised Global Reporting Initiative Guidelines.

This report covers the year 2006 and early 2007. The data are primarily for 2006 (for operations) and for the 2006 and 2007 model years (for vehicles). The data cover all of Ford Motor Company's wholly and majority-owned operations globally, unless otherwise noted. Changes in the basis for reporting or reclassifications of data previously reported are noted below.

This report is aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines released in October 2006, at a self-declared application level of A+. A complete index of GRI indicators is available here. More information on the Global Reporting Initiative and the application levels is available at www.globalreporting.org.

We will respect the natural environment and help preserve it for future generations.

Full report for this Principle

1	See the Environment section for a discussion of our Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) performance. For 2006 model year, the CAFE of our cars and trucks declined 1.0 percent, as expected. Preliminary data for 2007 model year shows a 5.4 percent improvement in CAFE compared to 2006, with a 1.7 percent improvement for cars and a 5.2 percent improvement for trucks. Improvement is reflected by increasing miles per gallon. Due to a weight increase for the 2007 model year the Ecoline Vans were not part of the CAFE calculation.
2	See the Environment section for a discussion of our CO2 emissions performance. Improvement is reflected by decreasing grams per mile.
3	Official EU data. Jaguar performance did not improve compared to 2005 due to model mix. Land Rover performance did not improve compared to 2005 and 2004 due to model mix.
4	Data have been adjusted to account for facilities that were closed, sold or new. This data does not include ACH.
5	Energy consumption and CO2 emissions per vehicle divides energy used or CO2 emitted by the number of vehicles produced. Averaging energy and CO2 emissions by the number of vehicles produced yields a somewhat imperfect indicator of production efficiency. When the number of vehicles produced declines, as it has since 2000, per-vehicle energy use tends to rise because a portion of the resources used by a facility is required for base facility operations, regardless of the number of vehicles produced. We believe that stable-to-declining per-vehicle energy use and CO2 emissions indicate that more efficient production since 2000 is offsetting the tendency of these indicators to rise during periods of declining production. This interpretation is reinforced by our Energy Efficiency Index, which focuses on production energy efficiency, and which has been steadily improving. Our Energy Efficiency Index target also has the effect of driving reductions in CO2 emissions. These data do not include ACH.
6	The Index is "normalized" based on an engineering calculation that adjusts for typical variances in weather and vehicle production. The Index was set at 100 for the year 2000 to simplify tracking against our target of 1 percent improvement in energy efficiency.
