We are family. We celebrate our differences. We all belong.
At Ford, we’re here for one Purpose:
To help build a better world, where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams.
We strive to put people first and create a culture that’s focused on doing the right thing. We’re one team aiming to make people’s lives better while creating value, delivering excellence and ultimately going for the win.
We understand that our differences, and being unique, help make us stronger and more innovative. Our differences reflect the customers we serve and the customers who help drive our business.
That is why we created this virtual event to celebrate what makes us uniquely and authentically us, and to create a platform for sharing and growing so that we all can take action to create a sense of belonging for everyone at Ford.
