Ford publishes 2010-11 Sustainability Report

Ford publishes 2010-11 Sustainability Report

This is the 12th annual nonfinancial report of Ford Motor Company. Ford's vision for sustainability reporting is that it is the basis of organizational learning. It demonstrates Ford's values, and both reflects and drives outstanding economic, environmental and social performance. Ford's most recent previous report was released in June 2010.

Ford's focus for reporting is on Ford’s most important sustainability issues and those of most interest to report users and our stakeholders. The issues that rated highest in potential impact on the Company and concern to stakeholders are covered in a Material Issues section of this report.

Comprehensive information on a range of other significant issues is included in Ford's report in the Governance, Economy, Environment and Society sections.
