Liz Door, Chief Supply Officer, and Mary Wroten, Executive Director of Environmental Quality and Sustainability at Ford, have detailed why the company is investing in renewable energy. Ford aims to achieve carbon neutrality across its vehicles, operations, and supply chain by 2050. To reach this goal, Ford is prioritizing investments in renewable energy sources such as geothermal, solar, and wind. In 2022, Ford made the largest renewable energy purchase by a corporation from a utility in U.S. history through an agreement with DTE Energy in Michigan. By 2026, every Ford vehicle manufactured in Michigan will be assembled using the equivalent of 100% carbon-free electricity. Additionally, Ford has launched the “Transform: Auto” program, an industry collaboration aimed at accelerating the adoption of renewable energy across the automotive supply chain.
