Other successful initiatives—highlighted in Ford’s 13th annual Sustainability Report—include reductions in water use, waste-to-landfill and CO 2 emissions as well as improvements in vehicle fuel economy and safety. The company also announced plans to reduce usage another 25% on a per-vehicle basis by 2016.

The Excel-based Upstream Dashboard provides “upstream” data for lifecycle analysis of coal, natural gas, crude oil, uranium, and biomass, as well as gasoline, ethanol, jet fuel, and diesel derived from either petroleum or coal-gasification. To use the tool, a user first selects the energy source to be analyzed and the desired reporting units.
