The 2009/2010 report, titled “Blueprint for Sustainability: The Future at Work,” provides updates on the company’s progress in five key areas including climate change, fuel economy, mobility, vehicle safety and human rights.
During 2009 and early 2010, Ford further reduced its global water use, down 16.6 percent year to year, and became one of the first companies to join the Carbon Disclosure Project’s Water Disclosure program to promote conservation and stewardship
In 2009, Ford Motor Company began developing a new water strategy that addresses the impacts of our water use from both an environmental and a social perspective. To help guide and inform our approach, we signed on as a founding responder of the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP) Water Disclosure initiative, which launched in late 2009 to help institutional investors better understand the business risks and opportunities associated with water scarcity and related issues. The CDP’s original project focused on corporate disclosures of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change strategies, and we found our participation in that project to be very beneficial in helping us formulate our strategy for GHG reporting. We anticipate similar benefits from CDP Water Disclosure, which will provide a globally harmonized method of water reporting.
This new strategy, which we are currently formulating, will build on the water use reduction strategy we began 10 years ago. When we initiated our water reduction goals in 2000, many facilities had little ability to track their water usage. Ford engineers thus developed a patented Water Estimation Tool (WET), a software program that helps facilities to predict their water usage. They then paired WET with WILD (Water Ideas to Lessen Demand), a list of practical ideas for reducing water use depending on where and when use is the greatest. Our facilities made good progress for several years, meeting or exceeding the 3 percent year-over-year water-reduction goal that applied to all facilities. To encourage continued progress, Ford environmental engineers are developing “single point lessons” that document practices demonstrated to save water. These lessons are cascaded for mandatory implementation in all facilities and are included in facility business plans. Single point lessons implemented thus far include leak identification, cooling tower optimization, and vehicle water testing.
