This target is part of their science-based targets initiative (SBTi) and reflects their commitment to align with global climate goals. Additionally, Ford is targeting a 50% reduction in the CO2e intensity of Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products per vehicle kilometre by 2035. The company has also pledged to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 across all operations, including vehicles and facilities. In the near term, Ford aims for carbon neutrality in its European electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing facilities and among its Tier 1 suppliers by 2035. Furthermore, they have successfully met a previous goal of reducing emissions per vehicle produced by 30% relative to a 2010 baseline, achieving a 32% reduction ahead of schedule. Overall, Ford's climate strategy reflects a comprehensive approach to reducing emissions across all scopes, with clear targets and a commitment to sustainability in the automotive industry.
