Ford Motor Company North American World Headquarter facilities
now send no waste to landfill – another major step in the
automaker’s quest to reduce its environmental impact globally.
North American headquarter facilities – located in Dearborn,
Michigan, Oakville, Ontario, and Santa Fe, Mexico – are diverting
more than 240,000 pounds of waste from landfills annually.
“Our global waste strategy commits Ford to reducing
waste-to-landfill, and we have made great progress at our
headquarters, manufacturing plants, offices and research
facilities,” said Andy Hobbs, Ford Motor Company director,
Environmental Quality Office. “We are proud of the efforts of our
employees worldwide in their commitment to helping Ford reduce its
environmental footprint.”
The move toward achieving landfill-free status began more than a
year ago at each of the North American headquarters. Employees were
instructed to separate waste and recycle when possible. In Mexico,
food waste is used as compost, while U.S. and Canadian headquarters
send refuse to waste-to-energy facilities. Site managers also moved
toward more eco-friendly food containers in cafeterias.
Ford has reduced the amount of global waste sent to landfills 50
percent per vehicle over the last five years. Fifty-nine Ford
facilities no longer send any waste to landfills – this includes
all Canadian and Mexican manufacturing plants.
Ford cut global water use 30 percent per vehicle from a 2009
baseline, reaching its goal two years ahead of schedule in 2013.
Since 2011 Ford has worked to trim energy consumption 25 percent,
and is on track to meet that goal this year.
Interbrand’s 2014 list of the 50 Best Global Green Brands ranked
Ford Motor Company No. 1 for its forward-thinking approach to
environmentally responsible and sustainable manufacturing, and for
greater transparency in its business operations and disclosure of
information – particularly involving manufacturing.
