Design <strong>for</strong> Lifecycle Sustainability<br />
Ford uses a lifecycle approach to assess<br />
and minimize the total impacts of vehicles<br />
from a sustainability perspective.<br />

Conclusions<br />
1. Ford is using LCA methods to assess and find<br />
opportunities to reduce the impacts of our products over<br />
their entire life cycle.<br />
2. LCAs are used to measure sustainability indicators such<br />
as Greenhouse Gas, Water Footprint, Land Use Change,<br />
and Material Availability.<br />
3. Sound scientific understanding is required in conjunction<br />
with LCA. Sustainability issues are complex and require<br />
thoughtful consideration.<br />
4. Need <strong>for</strong> long-term perspective, sustainability is by<br />
definition a long-term challenge.<br />
