Ford Appoints Exec to New Sustainability Post
23 April 2007
Ford Motor Company has named Susan Cischke Senior Vice President, Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering. She will lead the company’s sustainability efforts going forward and report to Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally.
Cischke is charged with establishing a long range sustainability strategy as well as Ford’s environmental and safety policy. She previously reported to Corporate Affairs Group Vice President Ziad Ojakli, and will continue to work closely with Ojakli and the Government Affairs team on safety and environmental regulatory issues.
We are at a critical stage in the global conversation on sustainability, energy consumption and environmental protection. Sue, as part of the senior leadership team, will not only help us shape our participation in this dialogue, but also help us develop the products and processes our customers and our society will demand.
—Alan Mulally, Ford President and CEO
A good appointment which should be followed by concrete action to secure Ford's commitment to sustainability. Wouldn't it be interesting if Ford partnered with a sustainable energy business to provide a turnkey transportation solution: vehicles plus fuel/energy fleets.
