Specifically, Scope 1 emissions were about 870,091,000 kg CO2e, while Scope 2 emissions (market-based) totalled approximately 1,183,244,000 kg CO2e. The majority of emissions stemmed from Scope 3, which accounted for about 354,140,000,000 kg CO2e, primarily from the use of sold products. Ford has set ambitious climate commitments, aiming for a 76% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2035, relative to a 2017 baseline. This target is part of their science-based targets initiative (SBTi) commitments. Additionally, Ford aims to reduce the GHG emissions intensity of Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products by 50% per vehicle kilometre by 2035, using a 2019 baseline. In terms of recent achievements, Ford successfully met its 2025 goal of reducing emissions per vehicle produced by 30% relative to a 2010 baseline, achieving a 32% reduction eight years ahead of schedule. Furthermore, the company aspires to achieve net-zero emissions across its global operations by 2050, with specific targets for carbon neutrality in its European electric vehicle manufacturing facilities and logistics operations by 2035. Overall, Ford's climate strategy reflects a comprehensive approach to reducing its carbon footprint, with a focus on both operational emissions and the broader impact of its products.
