Ford Motor Company

In a bid to limit its water impacts and risks, motor company Ford looked to its supply chain members to create lasting impact. Through its 2014 Partnership for a Cleaner Environment (PACE), Ford has worked to incentivize its Tier 1 suppliers to report their water use and adopt water saving initiatives, through the creation of multi-year plans. Suppliers are then encouraged to learn from one another – updating their plans regularly based on best practice – and to implement PACE across their own supplier network, further multiplying the impact of the program.
