Almost simultaneously, General Motors and Ford announced plans to require suppliers to achieve ISO 14001 environmental certification. All GM’s suppliers must be certified by December 31, 2002. Ford is asking only manufacturing suppliers (about 5000 companies) to meet this commitment – by July 1, 2003. In a survey of its suppliers, Ford found the majority plan to obtain certification over the next few years. Ford is the first automaker to achieve ISO certification world-wide – 140 plants in 26 countries.
