Henry Ford once said, “There is a most intimateconnection between decency and good business.”He believed that the main purpose of a corporationshould be to serve customers, employees, andcommunities. By staying true to those values,he was able to build the greatest businessenterprise of the 20th century.
Today, the values of a company are even morecritical to its success. As we move into the 21stcentury, expectations are higher and processes aremore transparent. Now, more than ever, companiesmust not just proclaim the highest standards, theymust live them every day.
The Code of Conduct Handbook will help Ford MotorCompany personnel around the world understandand follow our policies and procedures. It buildson our heritage of corporate citizenship, and itupdates our business practices, so that we cancompete ethically and fairly in all circumstances.
I urge all personnel to learn and follow these standards. By doing so, you will help us earnthe trust and respect that are essential for building a great Ford Motor Company for thenext 100 years and beyond.
