Ford won the Green Debt Instruments Category at the 7th Annual Climate Bonds Awards and was recognized for issuing the largest-ever green bond from a non-financial US corporation. The awards, presented annually to coincide with World Environment Day, recognize corporate and government efforts to address the climate crisis with sustainable financing. The USD2.5 billion bond offering is helping Ford finance the company’s transition to electrification, including its investments in clean transportation, clean manufacturing and community revitalization.
“Our Sustainable Financing Framework and inaugural green bond will help us finance our shift towards a zero-emissions future by prioritizing and allocating capital for environmental and social initiatives,” said John Lawler, Ford chief financial officer. “It is key to the long-term growth and financial success of our company, and to creating healthy, thriving and just communities.”
