Ford has also committed to reducing global manufacturing Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 18% by 2023 from a 2017 base year. For European operations, Ford targets all new vehicles to be zero-emission and its EV and EV component manufacturing facilities to be carbon neutral by 2035, alongside its Tier 1 suppliers and logistics operations for EU production sites and customer deliveries. The company also requires all direct suppliers for European products to be Scope 1 and Scope 2 carbon neutral by 2035.
