28 Facilities Receive for the Second Time the Most Prestigious Environmental Award Granted by the Mexican GovernmentNUEVO LAREDO, Mexico - The Mexican Government renewed the "Industria Limpia" (Clean Industry) Award to 28 Delphi Automotive Systems facilities, recognizing the company's efforts to implement the best environmental practices in its Mexican operations. During 1999, 28 of the corporation's 51 plants in Mexico were audited to renew the Industria Limpia certification. Delphi's operations worldwide are subject to regular environmental audits to ensure they comply with the strictest local and international regulations. Since 1994, Delphi has participated in the voluntary Industria Limpia certification, renewable every 2 years, as a signal of its corporate commitment to protect human health, natural resources and the global environment. "The ecological commitment of Delphi Automotive Systems in every part of the world is focused to fulfill the highest standards of environmental preservation and care in all of its plants," said A. Lee Crawford, executive director of Delphi Automotive Systems in Mexico and Central America. "We are very proud of being once again recognized by the Mexican Government for the environmental actions we take in Mexico. "This award will continue motivating Delphi team members in Mexico to turn environmental preservation into a lifestyle in their jobs and in their communities," Crawford said. Daniel Rosales, director of Delphi Packard Electric Systems Mexico East Operations, said that this recognition is very important because it confirms Delphi's pioneer role in voluntary environmental certifications within the automotive industry.
