Ford Named Among Best Corporate Citizens, Highest Ranking Automaker

It’s a great honor to be singled out and recognized among companies in an industry, and an even greater honor to be recognized out of other industries as well. In both of these broad fields, Ford has recently received prestigious distinctions from 3BL for their annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens list. This is Ford’s second year making the list, and the company ranked 18th overall on the list, 5th for human rights, and 11th for environment.

“Ford’s strong ESG performance, especially in relation to environmental sustainability and human rights, is a reflection of our overall corporate purpose: to build a better world where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams,” said Cynthia Williams, Ford global director, sustainability, homologation and compliance. “We’re honored to be highlighted on 3BL’s 100 Best Corporate Citizens list again this year and are inspired to be recognized for the progress we are making.”

The annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens list is based on metrics that take into account 184 ESG (environmental, social and governance) factors in seven categories: climate change, employee relations, environment, governance, human rights, stakeholders and society, and ESG performance. Corporate data and information are gathered from publicly available sources and used to determine the rankings. The 1,000 largest U.S. public companies are analyzed, making it a great feat to make the list in the first place. Not only this, but Ford was also the highest ranked automotive company on the list, adding another level of distinction to the honor.

“U.S. companies play an important role in providing solutions to our greatest societal challenges, including climate and the unfolding humanitarian crises at home and abroad,” said Dave Armon, CEO of 3BL. “The 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2023 are answering the call by demonstrating the value of leadership and transparency around ESG topics. They are setting ambitious goals, outlining robust strategies for achieving them, disclosing data to measure progress, and accounting for all stakeholders in business decisions.”

This isn’t the only prestigious list that Ford has earned a place on this year. The company also took the 12th spot on the LexisNexis Top 100 list, gaining recognition for exceptional contributions advancing innovation in global sustainability. These two honors, along with many other awards and distinctions that the company has earned, are signs of the success of Ford’s “Road to Better” commitment towards building a more sustainable, inclusive and equitable transportation future.
