Business Wire
Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI) today released its 2015-2016
Sustainability Progress Report, detailing the company’s performance
in areas ranging from its environmental practices to its Corporate
Responsibility initiatives.
Cummins, for example, exceeded its 2020 goal for reducing water
use intensity five years early and met the company’s 2015 goal for
energy / greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction, according to the report.
Cummins also made significant progress on its goal of working with
customers to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted by company
products in use, nearly reaching the half-way point to its 2020
goal.
In Corporate Responsibility, the company reported that 80
percent of its employees and contractors participated in some kind
of community engagement activity in 2015. Cummins’ Environmental
Challenge competition removed a record 36,810 metric tons of
GHGs.
“If we do our job right, our company can help build stronger
communities, extend economic opportunity to more people and help
address the environmental challenges facing the world today,” said
Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger in his introductory letter to the
report.
While the report includes statistics on everything from the
makeup of company’s waste stream to how much Cummins spends with
diverse suppliers, it also contains numerous examples of company
employees living Cummins’ values.
Teams in India and the U.K. are profiled for their work with
customers to reduce CO2 from company products in use. Cummins teams
in Brazil, India and Minnesota (U.S.A.) are featured for their
winning projects in the company’s Environmental Challenge. A
Cummins employee is highlighted for helping turn a former Superfund
waste site into an outdoor classroom where students today learn
about science, technology, engineering and math.
