  • Third-party verified (North America and EU)2
  • Reported to regulatory authorities (EU). Voluntarily reported to emissions registries or other authorities in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the Philippines, Taiwan and the U.S.

Notes to Data

  1. We restated our 2009 and 2010 worldwide facility CO2 emissions because the universe of facilities used to calculate worldwide facility CO2 emissions was modified.
  2. Over two-thirds of Ford’s global facility greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are third-party verified. From 1998-2010, all of Ford’s North America GHG emissions data were externally verified by FINRA, the auditors of the NASDAQ stock exchange, as part o our membership in the Chicago Climate Exchange. Beginning in 2011, all of Ford’s North American GHG emissions are now also verified under The Climate Registry, a nonprofit collaboration among North American states, provinces, territories and Native Sovereign Nations that sets consistent and transparent standards to calculate, verify and publicly report greenhouse gas emissions into a single registry. In addition, all emissions data covered by the EU Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS) and voluntary UK Climate Change Agreements are third-party verified. All EU-ETS verification statements are provided to Ford by facility from BSI for UK facilities, Lloyds for Spain and the Flemish Verification Office for Belgium. North American facilities are verified against The Climate Registry’s General Reporting Protocol. European facilities are verified against the EU-ETS rules and guidelines.

D. Worldwide Facility CO2 Emissions per Vehicle

Metric tons per vehicle

  2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
Total 1.01 1.09 1.07 1.01 0.91 0.90
Direct 0.33 0.38 0.35 0.31 0.28 0.30
Indirect 0.68 0.71 0.72 0.70 0.63 0.60

Notes to Data

CO2 emissions per vehicle declined for the fifth year, reflecting our focus on improving the energy efficiency of our operations. We are workging to meet our goal of reducing global facility CO2 emissions per vehicle by 30 percent by 2025 from a 2010 baseline.

E. Energy Efficiency Index

Percent

2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
4.3 11.7 18.3 14.4 2.6 6.4

Notes to Data

The energy efficiency index is a normalized indicator of energy used per vehicle produced based on a calculation that adjusts for typical variances in weather and vehicle production. The Index is set at 100 for the baseline year to simplify tracking annual improvements. In 2012, we expanded our energy efficiency to include global energy use data. In previous years, it only included energy use at North American facilities. In 2012, we also reset the baseline year to 2011. A year 2000 baseline was used through 2006; the baseline was reset to year 2010 starting in 2011. The year 2012 improvement indexed against the year 2011 baseline was 6.4, indicating a 6.4 percent improvement in global energy efficiency per vehicle from 2011 to 2012. Higher percentage reflects improvement.
