Enlightened corporations understand that environmental and social issues are business issues. They realise that, ultimately, they can only be as successful as the world in which they exist. That has always been our belief at Ford Motor Company. Our role as a positive contributor to the community is a source of pride to us, and is a major factor in our success as a company. We plan on playing an even greater role in helping to solve many of the daunting issues facing society.

- Bill Ford, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Ford Motor Company
