The Plan for Ford Motor Company is underpinned by the value of Caring for Each Other. Our employees, our customer base, dealer network and supply chain are a family where we celebrate our differences. As we work to modernize across our business, we will rely on our diverse supply base to bring fresh ideas and perspectives.
