Release Date: November 19, 2002
TROY, Mich. – Delphi Corp. (NYSE: DPH) announced today that four additional manufacturing sites have been registered to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 environmental specification. The company now has 95 percent of its manufacturing facilities recommended or registered for this environmental specification.
The following sites recently have earned ISO 14001 registration:
- Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems, diesel facility, Saltillo, Coahulia, Mexico;
- Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems, battery facility, Anaheim, Calif., USA;
- Delphi Energy & Chassis Systems, catalyst facility, San Luis Potosi, Mexico; and

"We are dedicated to the protection of our employees, communities and the environment," said Glenn Howarth, director, Delphi Environmental Services. "ISO 14001 certification of our manufacturing operations is one mechanism we are employing to accomplish this commitment."
ISO 14001 is an international standard created to support the implementation of an environmental management system. Based on continuous improvement, this standard aims at integrating business practices and environmental goals such as elimination of pollution and reduction of wastes.
ISO 14001 registered locations have completed all audits and have been issued a certificate, and those that are recommended for registration have put all necessary systems in place to support the ISO standard and are awaiting final review by a registrar.
Facilities are audited at least once each year to maintain their ISO 14001 registered status and must pass a renewal certification audit every three years.
The International Organization for Standardization is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies from more than 140 countries, one from each country. The focus of ISO is to promote the development of standardization and related activities with a goal to facilitate the international exchange of goods and services, and to develop cooperation in the spheres of intellectual, scientific, technological and economic activity.
