NAM's policy of responsibly protecting health and the environment is based on the following principles: 
Protection of health and the environment is an important consideration in business decisions. 
Consideration of potential health and environmental effects-as well as present and future regulatory requirements-is an early, integral part of the planning process. 
Company products, services, processes and facilities are planned and operated to incorporate objectives and targets that are periodically reviewed so as to minimize, to the extent practical, the creation of waste, pollution, and any adverse impact on health and the environment. 

The adoption and enforcement of responsible, effective, and sound laws, regulations, policies and practices protecting health and the environment are in the company's interest. Accordingly, we participate constructively with government officials, interested private organizations, and concerned members of the general public toward these ends. Likewise, it is in our interest to provide timely and accurate information to our various publics on environmental matters involving the company. 

Protection of health and the environment is a company-wide responsibility. Management of each activity is expected to accept this responsibility as an important priority and to commit the necessary resources. Employees at all levels are expected to carry out this responsibility within the context of their particular assignments and to cooperate in company efforts. 

Sustainable economic development is important to the future welfare of North American Motors, as well as to society in general. To be sustained, economic development must provide for protection of human health and the world's environmental resource base. It is Ford's policy that its operations, products and services accomplish their functions in a manner that provides responsibly for protection of health and the environment. 

The adoption and enforcement of responsible, effective, and sound laws, regulations, policies and practices protecting health and the environment are in the company's interest. Accordingly, we participate constructively with government officials, interested private organizations, and concerned members of the general public toward these ends. Likewise, 
it is in our interest to provide timely and accurate information to our various publics on environmental matters involving the company. 

We believe that:

Binding emission targets and timetables are the wrong approach.  

Development of new, cost-effective energy technologies is the most effective long- term response to address the global climate issue. 

Advocating a market-based mechanisms such as energy taxes, global emissions trading, and other incentives to both consumers and producers is the approach most likely to  reduce the cost of complying with the Kyoto mandates. 

Because we all share the same environment, we recognize the need for global action. However, we oppose ratification of the Kyoto Protocol in its current form because it establishes binding targets and time tables, does not have finalized flexibility mechanisms and does not require global participation. 

At North American Motors we remain committed to meeting regulatory requirements that apply to its businesses. With respect to health and environmental concerns, regulatory compliance represents a minimum. When necessary and appropriate, we establish and comply with standards of our own, which may go beyond legal mandates. In seeking appropriate ways to protect health or the environment, the issue of cost alone does not preclude consideration of possible alternatives, and priorities are based on achieving the greatest anticipated practical benefit while striving for continuous improvement.
