The Partnership for A Cleaner Environment (PACE) is part of Ford’s commitment to creating a better world. While many sustainability practices already have been implemented at the company’s manufacturing sites, Ford has expanded the program now to include tools that help suppliers reduce carbon-dioxide emissions and waste, as well as help make water and energy consumption more efficient.
In 2016, a second select group of suppliers were invited to join the voluntary program, bringing the number of participating companies to more than 40 in two years. PACE now has the potential to impact nearly 1,100 supplier sites in more than 40 countries.

This was a great initiative that Ford took on. I found it interesting that they realized their impact can reach further than changes in their own facilities. They took accountability for any components that move through their facilities as well, and aimed to extend their resource savings goals to their suppliers. It shows to outside parties that they were taking this environmentally-friendly mindset seriously. I also liked how they added the open communication to their suppliers about other savings they find internally. Well done, Ford. Out of curiosity, do you think their biggest motive for this PACE program with their suppliers was cost savings?
