At Ford, our most important asset isn’t real estate,
and it isn’t machinery; it’s our employees.
We make diversity and inclusion a priority.
We emphasize corporate citizenship in the places we
call home. We sponsor programs and opportunities
to help employees improve their work-life balance.
We value the longstanding contributions made
by members of labor organizations around the
world. We also work to inspire our suppliers
worldwide to extend that same level of inclusion to
the people who work for them. Our global terms
and conditions call on them to offer safe and fair
working conditions, no matter where they may be.
Ford employees repay that investment by serving
as the heart of our company. From going the
extra mile for customers, to raising awareness
and funds for juvenile diabetes and other charities
worldwide, our extended family has proven
its willingness to reach out and to serve.
In 2005, we are embracing
that spirit with the creation of
the Ford Volunteer Corps, an
umbrella organization under
which our employees can
volunteer for a wide range
of corporate citizenship
projects. The first major
project of the Corps will be
to rebuild in areas hardest
hit by the Dec. 26 tsunami
in Asia, continuing the
efforts initiated by Ford
employees in the first hours
following this tragedy.
Our history is filled with families who have,
generation after generation, found Ford to be
a great place to work. They show that in their
dedication and their spirit. And that’s one piece
of our heritage that we’ll carry into our future.
