Data managed through the Global Emissions Manager database

Data notes and analysis

Worldwide facility energy consumption increased from 2012 to 2013 due to increased production, use of additional facilities, and colder weather, which increased heating and cooling-related energy requirements. 2012 data was revised and restated to correct calculation errors.

Data notes and analysis

Worldwide facility energy consumption per vehicle produced decreased by 4 percent from 2012 to 2013, reflecting the greater efficiency of our production.

2012 data was revised and restated due to calculation errors.

Third party verified (North America and EU)¹
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.

Data notes and analysis

Worldwide facilities CO₂ emissions increased by 0.6% from 2012 to 2013 due to increased production. While our CO₂ emissions are linked to the amount of energy we use, and our energy and CO₂ emissions do move in the same direction, they do not necessarily increase or decrease by exactly the same amount. For example, in 2013, our total energy use increased by 6 percent compared to 2012, while our total CO₂ emissions increased by only 0.6 percent.

For 2013, national electricity factors were updated in accordance with internationally published GHG reporting protocols. 2012 data was revised to correct for calculation errors in total direct CO₂ emissions.

Sixty-one percent of Ford’s global facility GHG emissions are third-party verified. All of Ford’s North American GHG emissions data since 1998 are externally verified by The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the auditors of the NASDAQ stock exchange, as part of membership in the Chicago Climate Exchange. In addition, all of our European facilities impacted by the mandatory EU Trading Scheme are third-party verified.

Data managed through the Global Emissions Manager database

Data notes and analysis

CO₂ emissions per vehicle declined for the fifth 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. While our CO₂ emissions are linked to the amount of energy we use, and our energy and CO₂ emissions do move in the same direction, they do not necessarily increase or decrease by exactly the same amount. For example, in 2013, our total facilities energy use increased by 6 percent compared to 2012, while our total facilities CO₂ emissions increased by only 0.6 percent. For 2013, national electricity factors were updated in accordance with internationally published GHG reporting protocols. 2012 data was revised and restated to correct for calculation errors in total direct CO₂ emissions and the removal of Geelong Casting and Engine from the vehicle production number.

E. Energy Efficiency Index

11.7	18.3	14.4	2.6	6.4	17.0

Data notes and analysis

The energy efficiency index is a normalized indicator of energy used in our manufacturing facilities 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. The year 2013 improvement indexed against the year 2011 baseline was 17 (%).
