In August 2024, an internal memo from Ford announced that the company would be reducing its involvement in public debates on contentious issues. While reaffirming its commitment to workplace inclusivity, Ford stated it would no longer participate in external assessments, such as the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index, which evaluates corporate policies and benefits.
The memo highlighted Ford’s dedication to fostering a safe and inclusive environment for its employees. However, it also recognized the ever-evolving political and social landscape, with the company choosing to refrain from taking public stances on various controversial matters to respect the diverse views of both its workforce and customers.
