Ford reports verified operational emissions cuts of 49% since 2017 and targets SBTi-validated reductions, but Scope 3 dominates at 361 Mt CO2e—driven entirely by ICE vehicle use—with only intensity-based targets that allow absolute growth. Supply chain disclosure lags biodiversity risk assessment, and trade association lobbying undermines climate policy alignment.
