    Dana has plants in 33 countries and supplies every major automotive and
truck manufacturer in the world.  More than 51 Dana plants are already ISO
14001 certified and another 119 have already begun the process.  Plants that
have not yet started the process will soon embark on an accelerated program to
achieve accreditation within the deadline set by Dana.
    ISO 14001, which is considered the benchmark of environmental excellence
globally, requires a serious commitment to the environment, said Joe
Magliochetti Dana's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "We believe this
commitment is completely in line with the Dana Style and with Dana policy to
protect the environment and to be a good citizen globally."
    In the past, most environmental programs focused solely on legal
compliance.  The ISO environmental management system requires companies to go
beyond compliance by taking into consideration energy consumption, product
lifecycle, waste minimization and other natural resource benefits.  Product
design and research is also analyzed to reduce the use of hazardous chemicals
as well as hazardous waste. After certification, the program is reviewed each
year in order to continually improve the system.
    "We welcome this challenge and see great benefits both to our company and
the communities in which we operate.  Many of our plants which have already
adopted this system, report improved productivity. And in many cases there
have been cost savings through recycling, waste reduction and reduced energy
use."
    Dana Corporation is one of the world's largest independent suppliers to
vehicle manufacturers and their related aftermarkets. Founded in 1904 and
based in Toledo, Ohio, the company operates some 320 major facilities in 33
countries and employs more than 82,000 people. The company reported sales of
$13.2 billion in 1999. Dana's Internet address is http://www.dana.com .
