Ford Motor Co. said it would reduce new-vehicle greenhouse gas emissions 30% by 2020 in the U.S. and Europe.
The announcement followed a deal between the automaker and shareholder groups including the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility.
In 2003, Ford discarded its goal of improving mileage on sport-utility vehicles by 25% by 2005, saying instead it would boost mileage of all vehicles, without a specific target.
