In 2009, Visteon achieved several environmental performance milestones. The company launched an internal Design for Sustainability program, which each design project ultimately will utilize to support customer efforts related to fuel efficiency, alternative fuels and recyclability, while improving Visteon's performance in areas like energy use and waste. For manufacturing facilities, Visteon developed and implemented an energy audit program that identifies best practices and disseminates them to plants globally. The program has helped drive energy use savings of more than 15 percent for participating plants. These efforts demonstrate Visteon's continued commitment to the environment, aligned with the company's corporate environmental, health and safety policy.
