Ford - named one of the World's Most Ethical Companies for eighth year in a row

• Ford is shrinking its environmental footprint by sharing even more leading sustainability practices with its suppliers around the globe.
• PACE, which originally focused on water and energy conservation, has now grown to offer best practices for reducing waste, carbon dioxide and air emissions; carbon emissions could be reduced by nearly 500,000 metric tons globally in the next five years

Ethisphere Institute has named Ford in its list of the World's Most Ethical Companies for the eighth year in a row, recognising its ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability.

Ford is reducing the environmental footprint of its supply chain with an enhanced Partnership for A Cleaner Environment (PACE) program that has grown to more than 40 suppliers in 40 countries.

The Partnership for A Cleaner Environment (PACE) is part of Ford's commitment to creating a better world. While many sustainability practices have already been implemented at the company's manufacturing sites, Ford has expanded the program to include tools to help suppliers reduce carbon-dioxide emissions and waste, and to help make water and energy consumption more efficient.

Last year, a second select group of suppliers were invited to join the voluntary program, bringing the number of participating companies to more than 40 in two years. PACE now has the potential to impact nearly 1,100 supplier sites in more than 40 countries.

Mary Wroten, senior manager of Ford Supply Chain Sustainability, said:

"As a company, it's important that we make quality products and minimise the impact on the environment by doing things the right way. Having suppliers that want to share that responsibility shows we can work together to reduce our collective environmental footprint, while still continuing to deliver great products."

As part of PACE, Ford offers best practices and monitoring tools to help its suppliers track and achieve their own sustainability goals. In return, the suppliers report their environmental progress and share their own best practices. Already, participating suppliers are on track to save an estimated 550 million gallons of water over the next five years – enough to fill 837 Olympic size swimming pools– according to data collected in 2016.

However, the fight for sustainability isn't just about water. Thanks to the current suppliers participating in PACE, carbon emissions could be reduced by nearly 500,000 metric tons worldwide during the next five years. That's equivalent to eliminating the carbon emissions of over 50,000 homes a year.
