The company often pushes itself for innovative and sustainable products. Ford Motors has

consistently committed to manufacturing products using sustainable practices in all aspects of its

business. The company has devised strategies to reduce carbon emissions in its vehicles and eco-

friendly manufacturing processes. Ford has made outstanding efforts in its innovative products

that include hybrid and electric cars, and investing in renewable energy sources in the

manufacturing plants (Ford, n.d). Additionally, Ford has prioritised sustainability within its

supply chain. The company works collaboratively with the suppliers towards adopting

sustainable business practices, reduce waste and efficient use of resources in the manufacturing

process. Ford Motors continues to showcase its commitment to environmental sustainability

through sustainable practices.

The specific focus is the company’s consistent practices to adopt sustainable innovation

in its business operations. The company is making significant strides that align with its

sustainable objectives in the manufacture of electric vehicles. The company continues to affirm

The company is also focused on reducing carbon footprint in its vehicle manufacturing processes

and bio-based materials to reduce the environmental impact of its vehicles. Ford is a member of

the Ellen MacArthur Foundation Circular Economy 100, a group of companies committed to

welcomed new collaborations with partners and technologies to improve the efficiency of

transportation and reduce its carbon footprint. The company has adopted projects such as

company to reduce its carbon footprint in its business operations and develop eco-friendly

products to protect the environment. Additionally, government officials, regulators, and
