| 2021 | Other Environmental Practices - Ford Motor Company has a formal written Environmental Policy focused on protecting human health and the environment. The Company has committed to the International Chamber of Commerce "Principles for Environmental Management" and is a member of the World Business Council for SustainableDevelopment (WBCSD) and the Coalition for Environmentally Responsible Economies (CERES). Ford Motor Company also issues an annual Sustainability Report, which follows the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Guidelines for sustainability reporting. Ford is committed to pollution prevention. All manufacturing facilities worldwide have been third-party certified to the ISO 14001 standard. Ford Motor Company has implemented a minimum quantity lubricant (MQL) machining process (also called near-dry machining) that reduces waste by more than 80 percent for each engine we produce, also saving oil and water. This dry-machining process lubricates cutting tools with a fine spray of oil, rather than the conventional wet-machining that required large amounts of metalworking fluids and water to cool and lubricate the tools. For a typical production line, MQL can save more than 280,000 gallons of water per year. Additionally, MQL reduces the amount of oil needed to machine an engine or transmission by 80 percent or more. And by avoiding the need for a coolant system across most engine production lines, MQL helps to reduce energy use. MQL also improves plant air quality by eliminating the airborne mist produced by traditional wet-machining. | ||

TRI Pollution Prevention Glossary
The Waste Management Hierarchy |
The waste management hierarchy established by the Pollution Prevention Act (PPA) guides waste generators toward the best options for managing wastes.
The preferred option is to prevent pollution at its source, but for waste that is generated, the preferred management methods are recycling, followed
by burning for energy recovery, treatment and, as a last resort, disposing of the waste.

- A breakdown of production-related waste managed. This includes all amounts of the chemical released directly to the environment or otherwise managed as waste, other than waste generated by one-time events not associated with normal production processes (e.g., fires or remedial actions).
- A production ratio or activity index to provide context for reported toxic chemical quantities. For example, if a chemical is used in the manufacture of refrigerators, the production index would track the number of refrigerators produced and could be used to help gauge how much of the chemical is being released per unit of production.
- Any newly implemented source reduction activities, reported using "W-codes" (e.g., "W41: Increased purity of raw materials")
