"I think people see Ford – and rightly so – as a company that is focusing on substantial larger social issues, like human rights and environmental sustainability, that are critical for our planet."
Steve Marshall

"The question is not should we move toward plug-in vehicles. The real question is how can we get there quickly."
Peter Sherry, Jr.
Corporate Secretary and Associate General Counsel

"These days, sustainability governance and more traditional corporate governance overlap, maybe even to the point of merging. We have a very complicated business that impacts a host of different areas, and you can't divorce any one from the others."
Jim Vondale
Director

"To identify the safety priorities that can save the most lives, we must rely on real-world crash and injury data and apply sound science to motor vehicle safety problems."
