Ford

An industry leader on human rights, Ford received the highest overall score in this category. The company’s strong performance stems from its preeminent responsible minerals sourcing policy and its solid human rights due diligence processes, which could be further strengthened with more concrete remedy mechanisms. However, Ford needs to make far more progress to proactively eliminate fossil fuels and environmental harm from its supply chain.
