Ford Recognized for Ethics

Ford Motor Company has been recognized as one of the world’s most ethical companies by the Ethisphere Institute, a leading business ethics think tank.


Ford is among 100 global companies chosen for the designation from a field of thousands of companies in more than 100 countries and 36 industries. Ford is the only automaker to receive the honor in 2010. The results are based on an extensive review of companies’ social responsibility efforts, corporate governance and business practices.

“Ford Motor Company is honored and pleased to receive this recognition,” said Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford. “At Ford, we’re not only committed to making great products and building a strong business, we believe in contributing to a better world and doing business in an ethical way.”

The criteria researchers and analysts followed included:

A review of each company’s codes of ethics, litigation and regulatory infraction histories
An evaluation of investment in innovation and sustainable business practices
A look into activities designed to improve corporate citizenship
Input through nominations from senior executives, industry peers, suppliers and customers.
Information was provided to the Institute through formal questionnaires and through additional independent research.
