Ford recognised with Climate Leadership Award

Not only is Ford Motor Company showing leadership in reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of its vehicles, but the company is also being recognised for its greenhouse gas leadership in manufacturing as well. Ford received a Climate Leadership Award
at the inaugural United States Environmental Protection Agency Climate Leadership Awards Ceremony and Conference. Ford was the only automobile manufacturer to receive an award.

Ford was recognised with a Goal-Setting Certificate for its publicly stated manufacturing greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal, which is part of the company’s global manufacturing CO2 strategy. Ford had previously established vehicle CO2 goals based on its contribution to achieving 450 ppm atmospheric CO2 concentration. Applying this stabilisation goal to its manufacturing operations helped the company develop its stated goal of 30 per cent reduction per vehicle built between 2010 and 2025.

“Emissions reduction is a key element of Ford’s approach to sustainability and we plan to build on our accomplishments moving forward,” said Andy Hobbs, Director, Environmental Quality Office. “This Climate Leadership Award is a symbol of the dedication our employees have made to become a leader in reducing manufacturing greenhouse gas emissions.”
