Ford was one of the first companies to publicly make water stewardship a core sustainability priority, and that commitment has never been more important. We have set the sustainability aspirational goals to make zero water withdrawals for manufacturing processes and use freshwater only for human consumption.

By integrating more water-efficient processes and technologies in our manufacturing systems, we can further decrease our water consumption. We make efforts to use alternative water sources, like rainwater and wastewater from other organizations, for our manufacturing purposes.
Since 2000, we have achieved a 75.5% reduction in annual water use, accounting for nearly 200 billion cumulative gallons of water. Through integrating more water-efficient processes and technologies in our manufacturing systems to further decrease our water consumption, our water conservation actions are equal to providing a year’s worth of water to 1.8 million homes.
Ford’s purpose has always been bigger than building vehicles. We are driven by a desire to build a better world: To improve the lives of our people, the communities we call home, and the planet we all share.
Building a strong, sustainable business takes commitment, effort, and persistence. By advancing groundbreaking technology, supporting our people, our partners and our customers and protecting our planet, we are ensuring a brighter future for everyone who relies on Ford.
It’s going to take work. But that’s what we do best. This is the road we’re on at Ford. The Road to Better.
