In 2010, Ford's Environmental Quality Office announced a goal - to reduce the company's CO2 emissions from manufacturing operations by 30 percent per vehicle produced by 2025. Ford has hit the target twice as fast as expected. The results are dramatic, with a global manufacturing CO2 emissions reduction of more than 3.4 metric tonnes from 2010 to 2017 - equivalent to greenhouse gas emissions from more than 728,000 passenger vehicles driven for one year.
Ford reduced its emissions footprint through energy conservation and efficiency changes at its manufacturing facilities, such as installing more than 100,000 LED light fixtures and updating paint operations.
Ford is now working on setting a new goal - this one, focused on renewable energy. Ford also remains focused on reducing vehicle emissions by doing its share to deliver on CO2 reductions consistent with the Paris Climate Accord. The company is charting its course for the future by investing $15 billion to put 40 hybrid and fully-electric vehicle models on the road by 2022.
