Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Dana Holding Corporation's ethical standing is mixed. The company was subject to an SEC Cease-and-Desist Order for accounting fraud in 2004-2005, having allegedly overstated EBIT by $88 million and net income by $43 million. More recently, reports suggest a potential data breach involving 'Dana Group' in February 2023, though its direct link to Dana Incorporated remains uncertain, and transparency on cybersecurity metrics is reportedly lacking. On the sustainability front, Dana offers a "Dana Certified Reman™ Program" to remanufacture components, supporting a circular economy. However, critics point to the program's limited scope and the absence of specific waste reduction targets. The company allegedly conducts animal testing when required by law, which PETA considers not vegan-friendly.
