Did you know that Ford is saving the environment? Earlier this month, Ford took on over three hundred thousand new workers. These new employees are all perfect fits for the company: industrious, good at working together, high output, and most importantly: directly helping the environment. Who are these fantastic new hires from the company? Over six new hives of honeybees!

In the last several decades, the bee population of the world has been severely on the decline and is in critical need of our help. Showing its commitment to social responsibility and the environment, Ford launched a new beekeeping initiative at its world headquarters, installing six new hives with an expected capacity of over three-hundred-sixty thousand honeybees. The initiative has a focus on collecting data on bee health and diseases, with a focus on sustainability. Ford launched this initiative with Pollinator Partnership, a nonprofit dedicated to the protection and research of pollinating insects. 

Ford has been a long-time proponent of sustainability and environmental-friendly practices, as seen with the company’s green policies at the factory level (reducing landfill waste, decreasing water usage, minimizing carbon-dioxide emissions, and more), as well as with its other initiatives which reward suppliers for waste reduction throughout the entire supply chain. Ford has been rated in the top 10 lists of the greenest auto manufacturers for years, and it will continue to be committed to a better world.

So, whether you need a used or new car, you can trust Ford to get you the car to suit your needs. And while you buy from Ford, you can rest assured that you are supporting an environmentally-conscious company that has a long history of green practices.
