“Every person must be treated with dignity and respect, and be provided fair pay and benefits for the work they do…” Diversity Treating Others with Dignity and Respect “ We have a far better chance of attracting and retaining the best talent available if we create a work environment that encourages talented people to join us and, once here, to contribute to their full potential. To do so means that every person must be treated with dignity and respect, and be provided fair pay and benefits for the work they do …” Tim Solso Cummins Chairman and CEO “ In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished, biases and prejudices … When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.” 80 Cummins Inc. 2007 Sustainability Report J. Irwin Miller Former Cummins Chairman and CEO
The words of two Cummins chairmen – spoken years apart – demonstrate that Cummins’ commitment to diversity has not wavered with the passage of time or a change in leadership. At Cummins — which does business around the world — the message is powerful: From a business perspective, the Company believes that successfully managing diversity strengthens relationships with an increasingly diverse customer base. Beyond that, a diverse work force – in terms of race, ethnicity, age, gender, sexual orientation and educational background – ensures a variety of perspectives to best address the Company’s business needs. Cummins’ diversity initiatives include the following: • All employees complete a comprehensive diversity training program designed exclusively for Cummins. Second generation (advanced diversity management topics) training is a mandatory part of career development for leaders. • In all, 48 Local Diversity Councils (LDCs) have been created to address diversity issues in the communities in which Cummins does business. In addition, the LDCs focus on recruiting, retention and cultural differences in the workplace. Affinity groups, or employee resource groups, have been instrumental in Cummins’ diversity journey. Currently, we have affinity groups for African and African- Americans, Asians, Chinese, Latino, new hires and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender employees. • Cummins’ long-standing commitment to use qualified minority-owned suppliers has yielded good results in recent years. In 2006, Cummins spent $298.8 million with small business and minority-owned suppliers. In 2007, Cummins spent $453.8 million with small business and minority-owned suppliers. Diversity 81
