  2. Overview • Ford’s Environmental Management System – Gary Davis, Environmental Engineer, Norfolk Assembly Plant • Ford Supplier ISO 14001 – Bob Devlin, Ford Motor Company Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  3. Ford’s Environmental Management System • Why Ford chose ISO 14001? • Implementation • Lesson’s Learned Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  4. Why ISO 14001 Certification • Transition from a multi-national company to a global company -- Ford 2000. • Desire for consistent global systems including environmental systems. • Supports Ford strategies • Corporate citizenship • Empowerment (delegated responsibility) Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  5. Why ISO 14001 Certification • Third party certification is an additional resource for monitoring and provides credibility. • Potential requirement for sales. • Enhance image, potential competitive advantage. • Improve relations with government agencies. • ISO 14001 is NOT a Performance Standard or a Guarantee of 100% regulatory compliance Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  6. Background We see no conflict between business goals and social and environmental needs. I believe the distinction between a good company and a great one is this: A good company delivers excellent products and services; a great one delivers excellent products and services and strives to make the world a better place William Clay Ford, Jr. Chairman of the Board Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  7. ISO14000 • Benefits: • Improve Environmental performance • Reduce costs • Establish single management system standard and process • Integrate with other management systems • Increase Public Credibility • Competitiveness • Improved relationship w/ Regulatory Agencies Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  8. Lessons Learned • Top Management and Plant Management Support • Begin by evaluating and using what’s already in place • Borrowing – a great place to start - Aspects, EMPs, Procedures, Work Instructions • Bottom line: Must work for YOU! Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  9. Lessons Learned • Implementation requires a significant level of effort and commitment • Excellent opportunity to heighten environmental awareness within the facility/plant • Program maintenance involves the continued support of the plant & management team Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  10. Examples of Benefits • Assembly Plant in Ohio reduced purge solvent by 30% resulting in material cost savings of $104,000 annually • Assembly Plant in Kentucky reduced the plant air pressure from 105 PSI to 95 PSI resulting in an annual savings of $150,000 • Canadian Engine Plant (typical of many plants) replaced 3200 fluorescent lights with energy efficient bulbs and ballasts reduced energy usage by 1.04 million kWh per year and reduced energy costs by $44,000 per year Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  11. Ford Environmental SystemISO 14001 Top Two Questions • Why ISO 14001 for suppliers? • What is required of suppliers? Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  12. Why ISO 14001 for suppliers : • For Ford to be able to demonstrate continuous improvement, it was determined our suppliers should also be certified to the same standards Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  13. Ford Supplier Requirements • Certification and maintenance of an ISO 14001 environmental management system • Chemicals and materials involved in products or services delivered must meet the requirements stated in Restricted Material Standard WSS-M99P9999-A1 and/or Black & Grey lists Standards 1009,1 and 1009,11 (for Volvo suppliers) • Environmental data on processes used and products or materials supplied must be available and furnished upon request to enable environmental product assessments Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  14. Ford Supplier Requirements • Effective packaging solutions must be used to minimize waste for delivered products and services • Recyclability – the use of recycled materials and design for recycling principles – shall be considered during the selection of materials and design solutions. All plastic and polymeric parts must be properly identified • Cascade of ISO 14001 requirements to tiered suppliers. Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  15. ISO 14001 Supplier Requirements • Production and non-production suppliers to achieve registration at a minimum of one manufacturing site shipping product to Ford by year end 2001. • Suppliers to achieve registration of all their manufacturing sites shipping to Ford by July 2003, Volvo by year end 2002. • Suppliers encouraged to take similar action with their tiered suppliers.

  16. Implementation of Supplier Requirements • The Case For Change • Communication • Training Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  17. Case For Change • Internal Lessons Learned • Benchmarking • Supplier Readiness Assessment Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  18. Case for Change Benchmarking Automotive Companies Requesting ISO 14001 RequireRecommend Ford (certification) BMW / Rover Jaguar (certification) VW/Audi Volvo (certification) Saab GM (self certification) Porsche Honda (Europe & Top NA) ? Toyota Daimler Chrysler (Europe) ? Nissan ? Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  19. Case For ChangeISO 14001 Supplier Readiness Survey • Letter and survey sent to Top 200 production and Top 90 non-production suppliers in North America in February 1999. • Letter and survey sent to “Europe 150” suppliers in Europe 95% production suppliers. • Jaguar sent letter to Top suppliers in June 1998 encouraging suppliers to pursue ISO 14001, followed up with survey to assess supplier readiness in March 1999. Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000

  20. Case For Change • While not conforming to these requirements may not remove a supplier from the approved source list, it may cost that supplier future business and may encourage re-sourcing in the future. Environmental Quality Office, May 25, 2000
