Ford Recognized by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)

The Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) is a non-profit that strives to better help companies disclose their environmental impact. A recent report was released by CDP highlighting current water risks and future financial opportunities that are water-related for companies. Ford was recognized in CDP’s report for their water saving innovations.

Andy Hobbs
(Global Director, Environmental Quality Office, Environmental & Safety Compliance at Ford):
“Ford has unquestioningly benefitted from our years-long relationship with CDP and we appreciate the valuable insight its water security program has added to our internal processes.”
“It’s gratifying, each year, to see our progress toward zero water withdrawals for manufacturing processes. Together with CDP and a growing number of our suppliers, we are ensuring billions of gallons of water are preserved for human consumption.”

The water strategy of Ford is for zero water withdrawals for manufacturing processes. This strategy is in an effort to support freshwater availability in local communities. Ford also uses recycling and reuse systems in order to save water and conserve energy.

Ford has earned a 76.2% reduction in absolute freshwater use since 2000. Today in 2022 Ford used 22% less water globally! And in 2022, Ford received a double A score from CDP, making them the only automaker to earn the A list by the CDP in both climate and water.

Cynthia Williams
(Global Director, Sustainability, Homologation and Compliance, Ford):
“We were grateful to receive a double ‘A’ score from CDP and also encouraged to see an increasing number of companies participating in CDP’s data collection.”
“This is an important metric, which Ford will remain committed to as we push toward our goal of carbon neutrality. We encourage our suppliers and partners to do the same.”
