| 1. Has the brand formulated the objective to reduce its CO2 emissions from its own operations (including owned production facilities), by at least 30% in 2020 compared to 1990 CO2 emission levels? |
 |
Ford states that it will reduce its facility CO2 emissions by 30 percent
by 2025 on a per-vehicle basis (summary Sustainability Report 2010/11, p4). Reference year not specified. The objective is not as progressive as required for a Yes in this question. |

| 2. Has the brand disclosed the annual carbon footprint of its 'own operations', including owned production facilities? |
 |
Ford Motor Company does disclose its annual carbon footprint (see link under item C. Worldwide Facility CO2 Emissions). |
SOURCE
|
| 3. Has the brand already reduced or compensated its CO2 emissions from its own operations (including owned production facilities), by at least 10% in the last 5 years? |
|
Ford publicly reports its carbon footprint on its website. In 2010, it had a total footprint of 5,3 million metric tons of CO2eq/yr (scopes 1-2), compared to 8 million metric tons of CO2eq/yr in 2005 (scopes 1-2). This represents a 34% reduction in their own operations. |

|
| 4. Does the brand disclose a full carbon Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of its main car models or series, so that the carbon emissions caused by the car production (from raw materials to final product) are also transparent? |
|
Ford does disclose the full carbon LCA for 5 car series (Mondeo, Fiesta, Kuga, Galaxy and S-MAX), but without a breakdown of production and tailpipe emissions. For models like Ka, Fusion and Focus there are no life cycle assessment reports published by Ford. |

| 5. Does the brand plan to achieve an average CO2 emission of 130 grams per kilometer (g/km) or lower for its European car fleet prior to 2015? |
|
Although Ford offered 18 models in Europe that achieve a CO2 emission level of 130 grams per kilometer, and two that achieved less than 100 grams per kilometer, no plan to achieve an average CO2 emission of 130 grams per kilometer (g/km) or lower for its European car fleet prior to 2015 is stated on Ford's website. |

| 6. Has the brand achieved an average CO2 emission of 160 grams per kilometer (g/km) or lower for its European car fleet? |
|
Ford reports its average European fleet CO2 emissions to be 139 g/km in 2009. No results published yet for 2010. |

|
| 9. Has the brand achieved a 4% CO2 emission reduction of the car fleet average in the last two years? |
|
Ford has reduced the average CO2 emissions of its vehicles sold in Europe from 149 gr/km in 2007 to 139 gr/km in 2009, a reduction of 7%. No results published yet for 2010. |
SOURCE
|
| 10. Has the brand achieved a 10% CO2 emission reduction of the car fleet average in the last five years? |
 |
Almost. Ford has reduced the average CO2 emissions of its vehicles sold in Europe from 152 gr/km in 2004 to 139 gr/km in 2009, a reduction of 9%. No results published yet for 2010. |

| 11. Does the brand sell a car that has a CO2 emission of 100 grams per kilometer (g/km) or lower? |
|
Ford sells the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, with 1.6L Duratorq TDCi diesel engine with CO2 emission of 98 g/km. |
SOURCE
|
| 12. Does the brand sell a car that has a CO2 emission of 90 grams per kilometer (g/km) or lower? |
|
Ford sells the Fiesta ECOnetic 1.6 TDCi diesel with CO2 emission of 98 g/km, but not below the level of 90 g/km. In 2012 the new Focus ECOnetic will be launched which has CO2 emissions below 95 g/km. These cars are the models with the lowest emissions manufactured by Ford. |

|
| 13. Has the brand developed a prototype car that has a CO2 emission of 70 grams per kilometer (g/km) or lower? |
|
Ford has announced to launch two zero-emission full battery electric vehicles: the Transit Connect Electric light commercial vehicle in 2011, followed by the Ford Focus Electric in 2012. However, Ford does not indicate the efficiency in eg kWh/km for similar test cases as for fuel cars. So it is unclear if efficiency is below 70 g/km. |

|
| 14. Does the brand sell a hybrid, electric or fuel cell car on the European market? |
|
Ford has announced that it will sell hybrid and electric cars in Europe, but has not introduced them yet. Ford does however sell the Fusion Hybrid and Escape Hybrid in markets outside Europe. |

|
| 16. Does the brand clearly give the carbon emission or fuel efficiency rates for all models on its website? |
|
Ford discloses CO2 emission and fuel efficiency rates for all vehicles (see NL website for example). |
