Cummins Climate Strategy
Governments, companies, consumers
and Cummins customers around the
world are exploring ways to curb their
energy consumption, and by so doing,
reduce the creation of greenhouse gases
such as carbon dioxide. Cummins is
actively engaged in creating solutions to
this global concern.
Why is Cummins involved in this? First
of all, it is a natural fit with our mission
to demand that everything we do lead to
a cleaner, healthier, safer environment.
Making energy improvements is good
business because it gives Cummins the
opportunity to improve the efficiency of our
facilities and drive cost reduction. It’s also
good for our customers because we work
with them to get best fuel economy out of
our products.

Managing Carbon Emissions
As part of our continued commitment
to sustainable practices, Cummins is
participating in the U. S. Environmental
