- 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
- We restated our 2010 worldwide facility CO2 emissions for 2010 because the universe of facilities used to calculate worldwide facility CO2 emissions was modified.
- Nearly two-thirds of Ford’s global facility greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are third-party verified. All of Ford’s North American GHG emissions data from 1998 to 2010 were externally verified by FINRA, the auditors of the NASDAQ stock exchange, as part of membership in the Chicago Climate Exchange. In 2011, Ford became a Climate Registered member of The Climate Registry. All of Ford’s North American GHG emissions are now also verified under The Climate Registry. 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 World Resources Institute’s GHG Protocol. European facilities are verified against the EU-ETS rules and guidelines.

Analysis
CO2 emissions per vehicle declined for the fourth year, reflecting our focus on improving the energy efficiency of our operations. We are working 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
| 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | 2011 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NA | 4.3 | 11.7 | 18.3 | 14.4 | 2.6 |
Notes to Data
The North American 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 against our annual 3 percent energy-efficiency target. A year 2000 baseline was used through 2006; the baseline was reset to year 2010 starting in 2011. The year 2011 improvement indexed against the year 2010 baseline was 2.6, indicating a 2.6 percent improvement in energy efficiency from 2011 to 2010. Higher percentage reflects improvement.
