Ceres is a network of investors, environmentalists and other public interest groups that works with companies and investors to address sustainability challenges.
Ford Motor Company engaged with Ceres and a team of external stakeholders to review this 2007/8 Sustainability Report. Ford agreed to work with a stakeholder team that was selected for it by Ceres.
The Ceres stakeholder team is an independent group of individuals drawn primarily from the Ceres coalition and represents a range of constituencies that have expertise in environmental, social and governance issues.
In reviewing this report, the team considered whether the Company adequately reported on its sustainability performance and key impacts, including goals, targets, systems, data and initiatives. Through this review process, the Ceres stakeholder team provided extensive feedback to the Company, which was considered in the preparation of the final version of this report.
