Ford's Climate Change Strategy

To respond to the risks and opportunities posed by the climate change issue, our long-term strategy is to contribute to climate stabilization by:

• Continuously reducing the GHG emissions and energy usage of our operations
• Developing the flexibility and capability to market more lower-GHG-emission products in line with evolving market conditions
• Working with industry partners, energy companies, consumer groups and policy makers to establish an effective and predictable market, policy and technological framework for reducing road transport GHG emissions

During 2007, we took actions to advance the strategy including:

• Sustainable Mobility Governance

  We have established structure and accountability for implementing our strategy. During 2007, Ford's top executives approved a detailed product CO2 strategy.

• Blueprint for Sustainability

  The Blueprint connects our long-term emissions reduction goal to our product plans through 2030.

• Sustainable Technologies and Alternative Fuels Plan

  The plan details mid- and long-term steps to develop and develop and vehicle and fuel technologies to implement the Blueprint for Sustainability.
