Ford Motor Company Global Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking
Transparency Statement for the Financial Year Ending on December 31, 2023
Since our very earliest days, Ford has thrived on change and fresh thinking. This year, as we celebrated our120th anniversary, we welcomed the opportunity to further evolve. To reimagine what we build, reinvent our
workplaces, and better understand the people we serve. We are helping to build, not just a better vehicle, but
a better world. A world where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams. In our 2023, Global
Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Transparency Statement, we share our progress to build a robust
supply chain that upholds Ford’s sustainability and human rights commitments. As this report demonstrates,
we are taking bold actions to build trust with our stakeholders globally and create value responsibly. We areshaping the future of mobility – one that’s inclusive, equitable and sustainable. And we are transforming ourcompany keenly focused on people and the planet. We recognize we have a long way to go, but we are on
the road to better.
This statement is made pursuant to reporting requirements of applicable modern slavery, forced labor, childlabor and transparency acts1 which require qualifying businesses to provide disclosures related to steps being

64 Global Manufacturing and Assembly Facilities

Ford has outlined specific conduct guidelines for our business partners and suppliers since 2003 and has aformal Supplier Code of Conduct that applies clear expectations related to respecting human rights,
protecting the environment, responsible material sourcing and lawful business practices throughout our value
chain. We are working with our suppliers in a variety of ways to achieve these requirements.

Public Commitments to Human Rights
Ford’s longstanding commitment to protecting human rights is grounded in our purpose to help build a betterworld where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams. Ford was also the first major U.S.
automaker to sign the Action Pledge for the United Nations’ International Year for the Elimination of Child
Labour, which describes the actions companies are taking to eliminate child labor. In signing the pledge, Ford
committed to respect human rights by extending policies and due diligence processes, as outlined in our We
Are Committed to Protecting Human Rights and the Environment policy, which prohibits the use of child laboror forced labor in any form prohibits the use or support of human trafficking. We explicitly require our
suppliers, through our Supplier Code of Conduct and expect partners and joint ventures to adopt and enforce
similar policies and extend them to their own supply chain. As the Chair of the Board of Directors and memberof the Responsible Business Alliance and other multi-stakeholder groups, we encourage others acrossindustries to adopt best practices to end child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking and address the root
causes of these issues.
We are also signatories to the:• UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)• UN Global Compact• UN Women’s Empowerment Principles• CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion Pledge

Child Labor, Forced Labor and Human Trafficking Policies
Our commitment to protecting and respecting human rights is embodied in our We Are Committed toProtecting Human Rights and the Environment policy, which addresses key workplace issues commonly
associated with modern slavery, including but not limited to child labor, forced labor, human trafficking,ethical recruitment practices, fair and equal wages including the support of a living wage, and freedom of
association and collective bargaining rights. This policy applies to all of Ford’s global operations.
Ford’s policy prohibits forced or compulsory labor, in any form, and requires our business, including all
suppliers, comply with ethical recruitment principles. These include prohibiting the use of misleading or
fraudulent practices while offering employment, the use of recruitment fees, and the confiscating,destroying, concealing, and/or denying access to employee identity documents.
Ford Motor Company - 2023 Global Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Transparency Statement2Protecting rights to freedom of association and collective bargaining is also vital in preventing
modern slavery and human trafficking in our workforce. In alignment with our We Are Committed toProtecting Human Rights and the Environment policy, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation andDevelopment Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, Ford works with approximately 42 different unions
globally, representing approximately 69% of our global workforce. Substantially all the hourly employees inour global Automotive operations are represented by unions and covered by collective bargaining
agreements.

Supplier Contracts and Policies
In addition to supporting human rights within our own operations, we are committed to ensuring our
suppliers do the same. Ford’s Supplier Code of Conduct (“Supplier Code”) outlines both our requirements
and our expectations for supplier relationships in areas related to human rights, the environment,
responsible material sourcing, responsible and lawful business practices, and the implementation of
associated due diligence principles.
The Supplier Code applies to Ford’s supplier community. Our requirements and expectations reflectapplicable laws, widely accepted international human rights frameworks and charters, and Ford’s own
internal policies and procedures. We require suppliers to follow all applicable Ford policies and comply withor exceed all applicable laws and regulations. Incorporated into our Global Terms and Conditions, theSupplier Code requires that suppliers must enforce a similar code of practice and require theirsubcontractors do the same. We are measuring compliance with the Supplier Code using the Sustainability
Self-Assessment Questionnaire process outlined in the following section.
Ford’s Global Terms and Conditions are further supplemented by our Social Responsibility and AntiCorruption Supplier Guide. The Supplier Guide aligns with the Supplier Code and expands on our
expectations and suppliers' obligations on specific topics, including the prohibition of child labor,
forced labor (including human trafficking and physical disciplinary abuse), and any infraction of thelaw. The Supplier Guide also outlines Ford’s requirements regarding ethical recruitment, including
the prohibition of recruitment fees, misleading or fraudulent practices while offering employment, andconfiscating, destroying, concealing, and/or denying access to employee identity documents. While
Ford has always prohibited the use of child labor in any form, new updates in 2023 to the Ford
Supplier Code of Conduct also require that suppliers - including third party contractors who perform
recruitment - implement an appropriate mechanism to verify that the age of workers complies with
the International Labour Organization Minimum Age Convention (No. 138) and provide substantiationof this verification mechanism upon request.

Assessment of Risks, Due Diligence and Verification
Ford uses a saliency assessment to identify and prioritize the company’s key risks associated withhuman rights, and areas where we can make an impact. Conducted in line with the UN Guiding
Principles Reporting Framework, the saliency assessment identified and updated the human rights issues atrisk of the most severe negative impacts through our activities and business relationships. In conducting theassessment, we consulted with global external subject matter experts in human rights, environment, andlabor relations. In early 2023, we worked with an outside consultant to review and update our priorassessment to ensure the salient human rights and environment-related issues were still valid, and updated
the definitions based on recent trends and developments, as well as the scope of what the issues
encompass. The assessment identified 7 salient human rights issues, including forced labor, child labor andFord Motor Company - 2023 Global Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Transparency Statement3human trafficking, as well as fair and decent work (see graphic). These
apply throughout our business and extend to our partners and supply
chain. In response to new due diligence laws, such as the German Supply
Chain Due Diligence Act, we will be changing how we conduct saliency
assessments and risk assessments. In addition to human rights, we are
expanding our environmental issues scope in the saliency assessment.
Starting in 2023, we will review and update the salient issues and key risks
to the company annually.
As part of our efforts to improve our due diligence procedures andtransparency, a cross-functional team has been developed to determine
how Ford will address human rights strategy, assess risk, prioritize actions
and comply with new and upcoming due diligence laws. This process
helps us track the effectiveness of our due diligence systems andperformance and indicates opportunities to focus our efforts to addresshuman rights issues, including those that affect how we source materials
responsibly. We communicate our progress on our action plans to address
our salient issues through our Integrated Sustainability and Financial
Report and attached reports.
We have conducted more than 100 human rights risk assessments in Ford’s global manufacturing
facilities since 2004, evaluating how they align with our We Are Committed to Protecting Human Rights
and the Environment policy . In 2023, Ford continued using an established online third-party assessment
tool from the Responsible Business Alliance to assess human rights and environment-related risks acrossall of our global manufacturing facilities in a consistent way. The Responsible Business Alliance’s online
assessment tool has been developed by human rights experts and provides a company the opportunity toidentify areas of potential human rights, health and safety, and environment risks at the facility level byidentifying gaps in systems, policies, and practices. Ford plans to continue using Responsible Business
Alliance’s tool to best foster our processes to uphold human rights and to ensure all of Ford’s global
facilities are regularly assessed for human rights risk. For more information, see our Integrated
Sustainability and Financial Report and attached reports.
We conduct Sustainability Self-Assessment Questionnaires with our global suppliers. Managed
through our membership with Drive Sustainability, the Self-Assessment Questionnaire is based on the
Automotive Industry Guiding Principles and Practical Guidance for sustainability which have beendeveloped through a collaboration of global automotive original equipment manufacturers. A growing
element in our due diligence efforts, the Self-Assessment Questionnaire allows us to assess suppliersustainability and alignment with our Supplier Code. It also supports our efforts to identify social andenvironmental risks and compliance actions throughout our supply base.
We continue to expand usage of the Self-Assessment Questionnaire to all our tier 1 production suppliers,
enabling us to assess policy alignment and ensure suppliers are compliant. In 2023, we continue to include
Self-Assessment Questionnaire results into our sourcing process (learn more about Sourcing for
Sustainability below).
We conduct an annual risk assessment of our Tier 1 suppliers including human trafficking, child laborand forced labor, based upon multiple factors, including geographic risk profile, commodity manufactured,supplier quality performance, Self-Assessment Questionnaire results, and the nature of the business
transaction. Ford performs this risk assessment with input from external resources and stakeholders,
including the Responsible Business Alliance. We identified 19 countries in the Americas, Asia, Europe,
Middle East, and Africa with high risk. Our 2023 supplier risk assessment included over 4600 Tier 1
suppliers. The risk assessment supports our audit selection processes and provides key insights to improve
our human rights program.

We are maintaining a sharp focus on supply chain due diligence with respect to new and upcoming
legislation. We are aligning with suppliers and partners that share our commitment to international
standards and best practices. Ford has updated our human rights risk analysis process to align withGermany’s Supply Chain Due Diligence Act as outlined in our Policy Statement on Ford’s Human Rights
Strategy, Policies and Processes, which mandates that companies complete due diligence through anestablished risk management system that identifies, prioritizes, validates, and reports on human rights andenvironment-related risks that can lead to human rights violations. The Act requires companies set up
grievance mechanisms and provide preventative measures to safeguard and promote human rights in ourown business and supply chain, as well as provide appropriate remedies when non-compliance occurs andbring any violation to an end. Legislation in the United States requires Ford to conduct additional and/or
specific due diligence into our supply chain and update our annual supply chain risk analysis and processes
to align with legislation. As new issues arise, we will identify whether there are any gaps in our processes
and, if so, work to close them immediately.
We continue to enhance Sourcing for Sustainability in 2023. The first metric launched in 2022 was theSustainability Self-Assessment Questionnaire Rating, which ensures that suppliers (when requested) mustcomplete the Self-Assessment Questionnaire response and share it with Ford. In addition to the SelfAssessment Questionnaire Rating, the following metrics launched in 2023.
•••

Carbon Neutrality Target
Acceptance of Supplier Code of Conduct
Sustainability Score - based on supplier compliance with sustainability reporting requirements

If a supplier has an unacceptable sustainability metric, the decision to source must be reviewed at the
Global Commodity Director level and a corrective action plan must be in place prior to sourcing.
We use standard costing in our cost estimation systems to support supplier sourcing decisions.
Based on our suppliers’ pricing, if their quotation falls below our internal estimation of their costs, we may
investigate to understand the cause and ensure the supplier pricing and cost structure, including labor, aresustainable. Historically, we have chosen not to source suppliers based on unrealistically low
pricing/costing.

Supplier Audits and EffectivenessWe regularly conduct social responsibility audits of at-risk Tier 1 supplier factories. These audits
evaluate supplier compliance with both local law and Ford's human rights expectations as communicated in
our Supplier Code. These audits are performed through the independent Responsible Business Alliance
Validated Assessment Program (VAP v7.0). As in previous years, 100% of Ford’s 2023 audits were
externally validated and certified by the RBA. Ford’s auditee list includes suppliers representing a broad
range of commodity groupings from all regions of the world that were identified using our risk assessment
process. Audits include worker interviews and can be either announced or unannounced.
Per the Responsible Business Alliance Validated Assessment Program, our audits of suppliers evaluate for
43 Conformance Requirements, including the following:• All work must be voluntary• Workers must not be under the age of 15, or under the supplier policy minimum age, or under thelegal minimum age for employment, whichever of these is greatest•

Working hours do not exceed the maximum set by local law, and a workweek should not be morethan 60 hours per week, including overtime, except in emergency or unusual situations•

Workers must be provided with understandable wage statements that include sufficient information
to verify accurate compensation for work performed•

No harsh and inhumane treatment of workers

Ford Motor Company - 2023 Global Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Transparency Statement5•No harassment of or discrimination against workers•

All workers have the right to form and join trade unions, to bargain collectively, and to engage inpeaceful assembly
All required permits, licenses and test reports for occupational safety are in place
Potential for worker exposure to health and safety hazards is controlled
Process to cascade Validated Assessment Program code conformance requirements to company’s
own suppliers and to monitor their compliance to the code•••

Audit results are used to identify and prioritize needed improvements at the facility level. Each supplier is
expected to develop a Corrective Action Plan detailing causes and provide planned remediation actions toaddress identified areas of concern and take measures to correct non-conformances. For more serious
priority non-conformances, we review and monitor immediate containment plans and longer-term
Corrective Action Plans. Closure audits are scheduled to assess the results of Corrective Action Plans,following a timeline based on the priority of non-conformances reported.
Ford publicly reports the findings of our supplier audits in aggregate, including the nature of nonconformances and remedial actions, in our Integrated Sustainability and Financial Report and attached
reports. We analyze audit results to gain insight on areas where further supplier training is required. The
details can be found in the Performance Data Section of the Ford Integrated Report. The goal of our audit
and training program is for continued supplier capacity building at our highest risk suppliers.
We participated in the development and launch of the new Responsible Supply Chain Initiative audit
standard. Ford is one of the 14 founding members of the Responsible Supply Chain Initiative launched by
the German Automotive Industry Association VDA (Verband der Automobilindustrie). The Responsible
Supply Chain Initiative has developed a standardized assessment for evaluating the sustainability ofcompanies in automotive supply chains, including social compliance of working conditions, occupationalsafety and environmental protection. In addition, it has developed an industry standard audit which isaligned with the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act requirements as well as upcoming legislationsuch as the EU Directive on corporate sustainability due diligence.
In 2023, we completed 16 Responsible Supply Chain Initiative audits and will continue to utilize the protocol
to significantly increase the number and scope of supplier audits conducted in 2024.
We continued Battery Supply Chain Mapping and Auditing. We understand the battery supply chain is
critical to human rights. In 2021, we initiated supply chain mapping and auditing to understand the sourcesof the cobalt, nickel and lithium used in our Electric Vehicle batteries. Since then, our scope of work has
extended to include plug-in hybrid electric supply chains, graphite and electrolyte battery material audits,
and we have explored the possibility of conducting audits as a tool prior to initial sourcing.
We continue to work with RCS Global Group to deliver a multi-commodity responsible sourcing audit
program covering these key battery metals. This collaboration is strengthening our responsible sourcing
capacity and driving continual improvements in transparency and responsibility in our raw material supply
chains. In 2022, along with our suppliers, we underwent an audit of our nickel, lithium, and cobalt due
diligence management.
To date, the project has conducted 43 supplier audits along four select battery supply chains at all tiers
through to the mine site. These initial audits have led to the identification and mapping of 152 suppliers andidentified mine sites in Australia, Chile, China the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Finland, Indonesia,
Russia and Turkey.
Ford was the first American automaker to join the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance,
expanding the company’s commitment to safeguard human rights, communities where such work is done,
and the broader environment. The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance works to advance
Ford Motor Company - 2023 Global Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Transparency Statement
6responsible mining practices at large-scale mining sites, providing third-party verification and certification
against comprehensive environmental and social criteria for all mined materials. Ford’s Initiative for
Responsible Mining Assurance membership is another step towards the company’s human rights aspiration
to responsibly source all raw materials used within vehicles globally.
To ensure responsible sourcing of critical raw minerals, Ford requires suppliers to purchase only frommaterials processors that are certified through a third-party responsible sourcing standard such as the
Responsible Minerals Initiative’s Responsible Minerals Assurance Process, or that are seeking certification
via a mining assurance standard, such as the Standard for Responsible Mining from the Initiative for
Responsible Mining Assurance or an agreed upon third-party certified equivalent. In addition, suppliersmust disclose sub-tier and raw material supply chain actors and locations that provide materials used in
products supplied to Ford.
Not only do the updates address due diligence requirements for risks related to sourcing tin, tungsten,tantalum, and gold and any mineral from Conflict Affected and High Risk Areas, but they also address
Environmental, Social, and Governance issues at mines and processors.

Transparency in Conflict Minerals
We continue to engage our supply base globally to address the human rights issues associated withsourcing conflict minerals. To comply with the U.S. Conflict Minerals Rule disclosure to the Securities andExchange Commission, suppliers whose components contain tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold must
conduct due diligence to understand the origins of these minerals, source them responsibly, and notknowingly provide minerals that may contribute to conflict. We require suppliers to use the Due Diligence
Guidance and the associated framework compiled by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation andDevelopment to assess the chain of custody of these minerals. In alignment with the Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development framework, Ford conducts outreach directly to smelters andrefiners to engage in an independent third-party responsible mineral sourcing validation program.
We continue to enhance our Responsible Material Sourcing program by expanding the scope of our due
diligence to include additional industry-relevant materials and mineral provenance from Conflict Affected
and High Risk Areas beyond the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adjoining countries. Ford has
conducted a formal due diligence process on cobalt since 2018, mica since 2019, and launched due
diligence on lithium and nickel in 2022.
Empowering Women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s Cobalt and Copper Artisanal Mines.
Ford is addressing one of the root causes of child labor through a program that provides economic
opportunities for women in the Democratic Republic the Congo. The Ford Fund is working with the Oil andMines Governance Center to implement a program that aims to break down the barriers that prevent
women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo from equitably accessing opportunities that cobalt demand
provides. The project’s goal is to improve the working conditions of these women, increase their incomes,
support the stability of their households, and reduce the presence of children in mining. The region has
emerged as a key resource for critical metals that have become the keystone of the energy transition as theautomotive industry electrifies more vehicles. The Promoting the Empowerment of Women in Copper and
Cobalt Mineral Supply Chains program aims to increase access to profitable, sustainable enterprises bytraining women on financial education, business management, mining innovation and leadership, andformalizing women’s Artisanal and Small Mine cooperatives that allow equal access to market opportunities.
The program addresses poverty, one of the root causes of child labor.

Accountability and Grievance Channels
We maintain internal/external accountability, holding all Ford employees and suppliers accountable to
Ford’s expectations prohibiting child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking set out in our We Are
Committed to Protecting Human Rights and the Environment policy, Code of Conduct, Global Terms andFord Motor Company - 2023 Global Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking Transparency Statement
7

Conditions, Supplier Code of Conduct , and Supplier Guides. Employees and suppliers have multiple
avenues through which to report complaints or grievances, including those related to human rights such as
child labor, forced labor and human trafficking. These mechanisms allow for anonymous and confidential
reporting, including telephone hotlines, a dedicated email inbox, and our public websites. External reportingof any violation of human rights or environment-related risks is available on Ford's global website (External
Grievances), which is also available in several languages. Additionally reporting can be done through the
Responsible Business Alliance Worker Voice Platform that is offered via the participating supplier partners,
enabling Ford to record and route external grievances. This application supports case escalation including
third party support as well as the ability to involve affect stakeholders for effective case resolution andremedy. A cross-functional committee ensures that all reports are reviewed and addressed, and in thecase of reported non-compliance, corrective or disciplinary action is taken where appropriate. We provide
appropriate remedies when non-compliance occurs. Ford prohibits retaliation against anyone for making a
good-faith complaint or for cooperating in a company investigation of such complaints.
Ford also directs its suppliers and other external stakeholders to the Responsible Minerals Initiative
Grievance Mechanism, which replaced the RMI Minerals Grievance Platform in 2023. Stakeholders can
submit grievances related to mineral supply chains, including concerns about the RMI, Responsible
Minerals Assurance Process standards, smelter or refiner operations, audit quality and auditor
competencies, mineral supply chains and upstream/downstream initiatives, as well as mineral sourcing
activities and due diligence of Responsible Mineral Initiative member companies.

Global Internal / External Training
We conduct human rights training to build capacity both within Ford and at our suppliers. Within thecompany, Ford salaried full time, part-time, and agency workers received Ford Code of Conduct training
which had an overview of our policies, including our We Are Committed to Protecting Human Rights andthe Environment policy. We also regularly conduct internal training on our Supplier Code and Supply
Chain Sustainability program with our global purchasing staff.
In 2023, over 600 global Purchasing staff received live online training on our Supply Chain Sustainability
programs, including over 225 employees from Ford’s South Africa, India, Thailand, China, and Australia
markets. We continue to reach our Global Purchasing staff and provide education in Director Forums
throughout the year.
Externally, we invite suppliers located in countries and regions where there may be elevated risk to attend
training to increase awareness of Ford's requirements and legal obligations, including those related toforced labor and child labor. We sponsored 16 suppliers located in Thailand and 4 suppliers in Taipei,
Taiwan to attend a two-day in-person training event in Bangkok that centered on recruitment fees andethical recruitment. We held an e-learning training session with Responsible Business Alliance on child andforced labor in North America for 49 attendees. We reached over 900 external supplier employees toprovide training and education in 2023.
We continued our close collaboration with Responsible Business Alliance and Drive Sustainability to
update and deploy e-learning training modules for suppliers globally in 2023. These modules covered
general sustainability topics including high level information regarding forced labor and mineral due
diligence. In collaboration with Drive Sustainability, live webinar sessions were offered to suppliers in
Mexico, Germany, and the United States regarding country level topics. For greater detail on these industry
trainings, please visit the Drive Sustainability Capacity Building and Responsible Business Alliance Training
Resources websites.
Ford trained over 130 suppliers via live webinars we developed for mineral due diligence on 3TG, cobalt
and mica. Training was based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Due
Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict Affected and High Risk Area,
including resources on how to improve suppliers due diligence process.
