Here at Lifted Trucks, we'll never pass up the opportunity to celebrate one of our favorite truck brands. This time around, it's Ford that earned some time in the spotlight for receiving an "A" grade for water conservation from CDP, a global environmental disclosure agency.
What does this mean for Ford? It is now the only North American company to receive such a high honor for corporate water stewardship. After working on refining its practices from 2000 to 2014, Ford has been able to reduce water use by a total of 62 percent. That amounts to 10 billion gallons! Overall, the automaker has reached its goal two years sooner than planned.
In response to the recognition, Andy Hobbs, the Ford director of the Environmental Quality Office explains, "Access to clean, affordable drinking water is a basic human right. We have worked diligently to set year-over-year goals to reduce our water use while introducing innovative manufacturing technologies to help us achieve these goals. We are pleased CDP is recognizing Ford as a sustainability and water conservation leader."1
