October 18, 2006—As a part of its continued commitment to sustainable practices, Cummins has announced its participation in the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Leaders program.
By participating in Climate Leaders, Cummins has pledged to reduce its corporate-wide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 25 percent by 2010, against a base year of 2005. The Company will track greenhouse gas emissions at Cummins-managed facilities worldwide that contribute to the Company’s net sales.
The GHG reduction goal is in addition to the 20 percent reduction in GHG intensity that Cummins has already achieved from 2000-2005.
Cummins has been collecting GHG emissions data since 1999, focusing on improvements at all sites. The company has published an annual Sustainability Report since 2003 and was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index in both 2005 and 2006. It is also a member of Climate RESOLVE and participated in the Carbon Disclosure Project in 2006.
Launched in February 2002, EPA’s Climate Leaders is an industry-government partnership that works to develop long-term comprehensive corporate climate change strategies.
Cummins Inc., a global power leader, is a corporation of complementary business units that design, manufacture, distribute and service engines and related technologies, including fuel systems, controls, air handling, filtration, emission solutions and electrical power generation systems.
