In 2024, Ford Motor reported Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,380,000 tCO₂e using the market-based method.a
In 2024, Ford Motor reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method.a
In 2024, Ford Motor reported 360,883,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of Ford Motor includes a breakdown across 11 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 9 in 2023, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2024, Ford Motor reported total Scope 3 emissions of 360,883,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 13.77% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 86.23% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Compared to the previous year (2023), Ford Motor's Scope 3 emissions increased by 575.46%, suggesting that the company faced challenges in reducing emissions across its value chain.a
In 2024, Ford Motor reported emissions for 11 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Ford Motor's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Ford Motor reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 1,000,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 184,993 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 5.41 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Ford Motor reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 5.41 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 5.56, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Ford Motor ranked 13 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Ford Motor is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2024, Ford Motor reported a total carbon footprint of 363,263,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 538.34% increase compared to 2023, suggesting a rise in emissions across its operations or value chain.ab
The largest contributor to Ford Motor's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.34% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.38%.a
