Compliance

Manufacturing Plant Notices of Violation

Ford received five notices of violation (NOV) from government agencies in 2007. Four of the NOVs received were in the United States and one was in Vietnam. The issuance of an NOV is an allegation of noncompliance with anything from a minor paperwork requirement to a permit limit, and does not mean that the Company was in noncompliance or received a penalty.

Offsite Spills

In 2007, off-site spills occurred at five Ford manufacturing facilities in the United States and Canada. Less than 1,500 gallons of material was spilled.

Fines and Penalties Paid

In 2007, Ford paid only neligible fines or penalties globally pertaining to environmental matters in our facilities.
