Earlier this year, Ford released its first integrated sustainability and financial report, which outlines environmental actions and contextualizes them for shareholders. That report also shines a light on efforts Ford is making in diversity, equity, and inclusion as part of its aim to create “a culture of belonging.”
Ford says that it launched a DEI audit of salaried employees in the U.S. as result of the outcry following the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. Global markets will also undergo similar audits in the coming months. The automaker has also established a new monthly DEI forum chaired by CEO Jim Farley and is requiring officers and many skill teams to fulfill DEI objectives. Ford says that its mantra regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion is “We are family. We celebrate our differences. We all belong.”
