3 Ford Sustainable Financing Framework 2021 Sustainability at Ford Sustainable Financing Framework Introduction Sustainability at Ford Over 20 years ago, we launched the industry’s first Sustainability Report, demonstrating our commitment to environmental progress. In 2021, we combined our Annual and Sustainability Reports into an Integrated Annual Report to share a more holistic view of our performance – that success in sustainability on behalf of customers and other stakeholders requires a financially healthy business, and financial health depends on effectiveness in sustainability areas. Throughout Ford’s nearly 118-year history, one thing that has remained constant is our purpose to help build a better world, where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams. Guided by this purpose, we are doing our share to meet the collective challenges the world faces. To address the full range of material issues, we have defined aspirations and plans to achieve them in six primary areas: People, Human Rights, Climate Change, Sustainable Materials, Circular Economy and Renewable Electricity Strategies. Our purpose: To help build a better world, where every person is free to move and pursue their dreams. The aims of our sustainability strategic plan are to: Earn Trust To become the world’s most trusted company by consistently serving others with integrity and competence. Ford embodies these strongly held values. Trust earned with global stakeholders will be our most important asset. Drive Progress To provide vehicles and services that help create a better world by preserving human rights, protecting health and safety, increasing access to social good (mobility) and enhancing societal economic prosperity. Make Positive Impacts To go beyond minimizing the negative impact of our activities to making a net positive contribution to society and the environment. Our long-term view is of a connected transport network comprising increasingly intelligent vehicles that communicate with each other and the world around them – changing lives for the better, and giving every person the freedom to move and pursue their dream.

$ 5 Ford Sustainable Financing Framework 2021 Sustainability at Ford Sustainable Financing Framework Introduction We plan to lead the electrification revolution for the same reasons we continue to set and achieve other sustainability goals: because it is good for customers, good for business and good for the planet. Ford was the first full-line U.S. automaker to commit to achieving carbon neutrality no later than 2050, in line with the Paris Climate Agreement and stand with California for stronger vehicle greenhouse gas (G H G) emission standards. Our goal is backed by science-based interim targets for C O 2 emissions reductions. Ford has committed to reducing (i) Scope 1 and 2 G H G emissions in our operations by 76 percent by 2035 from a 2017 baseline and (ii) Scope 3 GHG emissions from use of products we sell by 50 percent per vehicle kilometer by 2035 from a 2019 baseline. At COP26, we joined a global coalition of public and private sector leaders taking bold action on zero-emission vehicles by signing the RouteZero pledge to work towards 100% zero-emission cars and vans globally by 2040, and in leading markets no later than 2035. We expect 40% to 50% of our global vehicle volume to be all- electric by 2030, with planned electrification spending of $30+ billion by 2025, including our $7 billion investment in BlueOval City and BlueOval SK Battery Park, the largest one-time U.S. electrification investment by an auto manufacturer. Ford’s new Tennessee assembly plant is designed to be carbon neutral with zero waste to landfill once fully operational. Ford is the first OEM to join the Better Climate initiative by committing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our manufacturing facilities in the U.S. by 50% over the next nine years, in line with our global commitment to power our facilities with 100% local renewable energy by 2035. In addition, through the Ford Motor Company Fund (Ford Fund), we have been strengthening communities and making people’s lives better for more than 70 years. Since 1949, the Ford Fund has invested more than $2.1 billion in programs that feed the hungry, provide educational opportunities, support multicultural initiatives, promote safe driving and more. Our Business Activities Design We consider environmental impact and sustainability in the design of our vehicles Responsible Sourcing We require suppliers to enforce environmental and social standards aligned with ours Logistics We encourage our inbound and outbound logistics providers to transport finished vehicles and parts efficiently Manufacturing We invest in lean processes and world-class factories to create positive impact Financing We provide financing through Ford Credit to individuals and dealers to finance vehicles and battery electric vehicle infrastructure Sales and Service We are reimagining customer experience by listening and adapting to their needs Our Vehicles in Use We provide a safe and enjoyable experience with high-quality vehicles Mobility We are exploring new solutions to support urban mobility End of Vehicle Life Over 85 percent of our vehicle parts and materials are recycled and reused Sustainability Governance Ford has robust management processes, systems and governance designed to help us improve our sustainability performance, act responsibly and ethically and take responsibility for the effects our activities have on society and the world around us.

6 Ford Sustainable Financing Framework 2021 Sustainability at Ford Sustainable Financing Framework Introduction Sustainable Financing Framework In accordance with our sustainability strategy, Ford has established a holistic Ford and Ford Credit Sustainable Financing Framework (the “Framework”) under which it can obtain financing through Green, Social and Sustainability transactions. Transactions may include senior unsecured notes, securitizations, loans, commercial paper, retail deposits, convertible notes or other issuances (each a Sustainable Financing). Issuing entities will include both Ford Motor Company and Ford Credit entities, which include but are not limited to Ford Motor Credit Company L L C, F C E Bank p l c and Ford Bank G m B H. The Framework has been developed in alignment with the International Capital Market Association (the I C M A) Green Bond Principles, 20211, the I C M A Social Bond Principles, 20211 (together, the Principles), the I C M A Sustainability Bond Guidelines, 20211 (the S B G) and the Loan Market Association Green Loan Principles, 20212 (the G L P), all of which recommend transparency and disclosure and promote integrity with respect to “sustainable” financing. In line with the Principles, the S B G and the G L P, Ford’s Sustainable Financing Framework covers the following key pillars: • Use of Proceeds • Process for Project Evaluation and Selection • Management of Proceeds • Reporting The Framework also follows the recommendations of the Principles, the S B G and the G L P on external review and impact reporting. 1 https://www.icmagroup.org/sustainable-finance/the-principles- guidelines-and-handbooks/ 2 https://www.lma.eu.com/sustainable-lending Use of Proceeds An amount equal to the net proceeds from each Sustainable Financing will be used to finance or refinance, in whole or in part, new or existing green and/or social projects, assets or activities made by Ford or Ford Credit that meet the eligibility criteria described below. We intend to communicate our expectations of the split between new and existing Eligible Projects prior to each issuance. Ford’s Eligible Projects will have occurred on or before 24 months prior to the issuance date of the related financing. Ford’s and Ford Credit’s intention is to fully allocate the net proceeds of each Sustainable Financing within 24 months of its issuance. Net proceeds raised will be allocated to the four categories listed in the following table. Eligible Categories Ford Ford Credit Green Clean Transportation Clean Transportation Green Clean Manufacturing n/a Social Making Lives Better Making Lives Better Social Community Revitalization n/a A significant portion of the net proceeds of any Green and/ or Sustainable Financing is expected to be allocated to Clean Transportation. If any eligible social project becomes involved in a material ESG controversy, we intend to reallocate funds to an eligible project not involved in any material E S G controversies.

10 Ford Sustainable Financing Framework 2021 Sustainability at Ford Sustainable Financing Framework Introduction Process for Project Evaluation and Selection Ford has established a Sustainable Finance Committee (the “Committee”) to oversee the project evaluation and selection process and ensure selected projects comply with the eligibility criteria defined in the Use of Proceeds section of the Framework and are aligned with Ford’s corporate sustainability strategy. The Committee will be made up of senior leadership and other representatives from each of Ford’s Treasury, Sustainability, Corporate Finance, Investor Relations, Ford Credit and Office of the General Counsel teams, and will meet at least twice per year. The Committee will be responsible for: • Approving the Sustainable Financing Framework and any subsequent amendments thereto • Evaluating and approving the selection of Eligible Projects or Eligible Receivables based on the selection criteria defined in the Use of Proceeds section of the Framework • Monitoring Eligible Projects throughout the life of the Sustainable Financing(s) • Replacing any projects that no longer meet the eligibility criteria with new projects as soon as practicable • Reviewing and validating the impact and allocation reports for investors and ensuring the robustness of the external review process Management of Proceeds Eligible Projects or Eligible Receivables will be tracked internally in a register comprising Eligible Projects for each Sustainable Financing (each an “Eligible Portfolio”). Ford or Ford Credit may decide to aggregate Eligible Portfolios of Sustainable Financings from the same issuer when issuing instruments with the same classification (Green Financings, Social Financings or Sustainable Financings). Ford An amount equal to the net proceeds of any financing will be allocated to new projects or refinancing of Eligible Projects under the review of the Sustainable Financing Committee. In the event that funds cannot be immediately and fully allocated – for example, in the case of divestment or if a project no longer meets the eligibility criteria listed above – Ford intends to reallocate the funds to other Eligible Projects. If for any reason the aggregate amount in each Eligible Portfolio is less than the total outstanding amount of Ford’s Sustainable Financings issued, Ford will hold the net amount in cash, cash equivalents and/or U.S. government or agency securities (i.e. investments exclude any high-emitting and controversial activities), or use it to repay short-term borrowings until the amount can be allocated to the relevant Eligible Portfolio. Ford Credit The Asset-Liability Committee (the “ALCO”) of each issuing entity of Ford Credit is responsible for supervising each Eligible Portfolio and the total aggregate amount issued in each Sustainable Financing by the applicable Ford Credit entity. The ALCO meets monthly and will be responsible for ensuring that the aggregate amount in each Eligible Portfolio is equal to or greater than the aggregate amount raised in each Sustainable Financing. Ford Credit’s Eligible Portfolios are dynamic, with new loans continually added and loans exiting the portfolio when they mature or if they cease to meet the eligibility criteria. If for any reason the aggregate amount in each Eligible Portfolio is less than the total outstanding amount of each Sustainable Financing, the Ford Credit entity will hold the net amount in cash, cash equivalents, and/or U.S. government or agency securities (i.e. investments exclude any high-emitting and controversial activities), or use it to repay short-term borrowings until the amount can be allocated to the relevant Eligible Portfolio.
