A company that shows its values to me is Ford Motor company. In 2009 Ford Motor Company turned down the federal bailout that was offered to them along with GM and Chrysler. For was the only US car company that turned down the money. Due to the decline to accept the bailout money from the government, sales of ford vehicles and stocks rose dramatically. This is due to the perseverance of the hard working Americans emplyed by Ford and In charge of ford. A value I admire of Ford is that they are starting to make their cars more fuel efficient to help the environment. Currently ford has some of the top hybrid vehicles in production. They are one of the top, if not the top in the automobile industry. You can see by Ford's website that they are committed to a future with a carbon footprint as small as possible.
I picked Ford because I have read about their resiliency to accept the federal bailout dollars. That showed me that Ford wanted to make it on their own, and show the world that Ford is still around and is still creating cutting edge vehicles, just like in the olden days of the Model T. I value hard working companies that don't rely on the government to bail them out of a financial crisis. Also, Ford is dedicated to fairness and accountability within the company. This shows me that they mean business, and they're going to hold people in the company, including the big wigs accountable for their actions and performance. Ford's values are visible on their website and by their actions regarding the auto bailout.
The following is a story on Ford and Ford's CEO:
Ford is a resilient company and I do admire the fact that the company wants to get things right. Built Ford tough used to mean something and I think they're trying to get that meaning back.
