Commits to Energy Management Campaign;
Releases new Energy Goal
Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) won the 2016 Award of Excellence in
Energy Management from the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM), a
high-level global forum that promotes policies and programs to
advance clean energy. CEM energy ministers will present this
prestigious CEM award to Jennifer Rumsey, Vice President and Chief
Technical Officer of Cummins Inc. at the annual CEM meeting in San
Francisco, California, on June 2. An independent panel of
international experts selected only three organizations worldwide
for this top honor in energy management.
Also at CEM, Cummins joined the Energy Management Campaign,
which is an effort of CEM and the International Partnership for
Energy Efficiency Cooperation to spur international collaboration
with a goal of 50,001 global certifications by 2020. Cummins’
commits to achieve ISO 50001 certification at a total of 40 sites
by 2020. These 40 sites represent 90 percent of Cummins’ energy
footprint.
“To meet the world’s energy, environmental and economic
challenges, we must improve how we manage energy on a global
scale,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Vice President and Chief Technical
Officer at Cummins Inc. “Cummins is committed to energy efficiency
in our facilities and throughout our supply chain as well as
through our product innovations. We are honored to join the Energy
Management Campaign because we believe structured energy management
and aggressive goals are key to making progress in global energy
efficiency.”
This commitment comes as Cummins released its third energy goal
in 10 years this spring. It pledges to achieve a 32 percent energy
intensity reduction from company facilities by 2020 (using a
baseline year of 2010) and increase the portion of electricity it
uses derived from renewable sources.
The award is part of the CEM Energy Management Leadership Awards
program and is managed by CEM’s Energy Management Working Group
(EMWG), which includes representatives from Australia, Canada,
Chile, China, the European Commission, Finland, Germany, India,
Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Africa,
Sweden, and the United States. To enter the awards program, Cummins
developed and submitted a detailed case study describing its
experiences and results using ISO 50001 at nine of its global
sites. This award-winning case study is available on the CEM
website as a resource for other organizations.
In its case study, Cummins Inc. describes key aspects of its ISO
50001-certified energy management system and identifies resulting
benefits at a total of nine sites in India, the United Kingdom and
the United States, including the following:
- A 20.25% energy performance improvement
over 2010 baseline
- More than $3.5 annual energy cost
savings and a 12-month payback period
- 39,740 metric tons of CO2 reduction
annually
- Participation in selective governmental
programs that help to accelerate energy and cost savings
The ISO 50001 standard is a framework to help companies manage
and continually improve their energy performance and realize cost
and emission reductions. Regardless of a company’s starting point,
size, or sector, this framework helps achieve energy and cost
savings year after year. ISO 50001 is a product of international
collaboration, drawing on best practices from over 50 countries and
demonstrating impressive savings among the 12,000 early adopters.
The standard is proven to be business-friendly, globally relevant,
and transformational, as it embeds best practices into any
organization and provides a global benchmark for climate and clean
energy action.
