Performance Summary

The table below provides three-year performance data according to a set of key indicators.

In previous sustainability reports, we organized our data and indicators around Ford's Business Principles. This year - although most of the indicators themselves are the same as in years past - they have been organized into the broader categories of Economy, Environment and Society. This shift mirrors the organization of our Web report and represents an internal evolution in our approach to sustainability. It also aligns the report more clearly with the Global Reporting Initiative's guidelines.

This report covers the year 2007 and early 2008. The data are primarily for 2007 (for operations) and for the 2007 and 2008 model years (for vehicles). The data cover all of Ford Motor Company's wholly and majority-owned operations globally, unless otherwise noted. Changes in the basis for reporting or reclassifications of data previously reported are noted below.

This report is aligned with the Global Reporting Initiative's G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, released in October 2006, at a self-declared application level of "A". See the GRI index for a complete index of GRI indicators.
