In 2017, the prestigious Ethisphere Institute, which year after year lists companies that have distinguished themselves in the fields of the environment and ecology, had Ford on its list of winners for its exceptional contribution to the field of environmental protection.

It was in the early 2000s that the American manufacturer resolutely embarked on the path of sustainable development. Since then, the successes have only illustrated Ford's firm intention to do better than anyone else to protect the environment in all its forms. Blainville Ford, your Ford Lanaudière dealership near Laval and Montreal, has also become the most environmentally-friendly Ford dealership in the greater Montreal area.

A Great Contribution to the Planet

The American giant, in addition to joining the Business Alliance of Water and Climate, has succeeded in reducing its water use by more than 60% in all its facilities around the world. Even more interesting, the search for alternative solutions made from sustainable materials has led to the use of more than 300 Ford vehicle derived from renewable sources, such as cotton, jute, rubber, soybeans and plastic. In fact, Ford’s impressive protection efforts include plastic bottle recycling, the result of which is used to make underbody shields on cars and SUVs as well as wheel liners on F-Series trucks.

While we said earlier in this blog that the issue of environmental protection has been top-of-mind at Ford since the early 2000s, the American giant's philosophy started at the very beginning of the company when its first president said, "Henry Ford felt that we should be responsible for reducing the environmental impact on the planet in every way possible and was interested in recycling materials, as well as the use of plant-based materials".

Nowadays, Ford's environmental mission is in full force. Ford recycles more than 20 million pounds of aluminum per month, which is enough to make 37,000 F-Series truck bodies. In 2019, 85 Ford facilities (including the Oakville, Ontario assembly plant) are not sending any waste to landfills.

Ford’s Heritage Program also stays up-to-date on global warming and the real threats it poses. For this reason, Ford executives continue to take more environmental and ecological actions to reduce greenhouse gases by participating in carsharing, multimodal transportation and dynamic shuttles.
