Our culture is one that encourages employees to take ownership<br />

for ethical behavior and to speak up if they have concerns. All<br />

employees are required to follow the <strong>Code</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Conduct</strong><br />

and to set an example <strong>of</strong> ethical behavior.<br />

<strong>Cummins</strong> will provide support to employees through a<br />

Compliance and Ethics Program that provides training to<br />

employees on the <strong>Code</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong> <strong>Conduct</strong> and other<br />

important areas <strong>of</strong> compliance.<br />

Remember, <strong>Cummins</strong> has a non-retaliation policy that protects<br />

employees who raise concerns in good faith. If you are aware <strong>of</strong><br />

any conduct that you believe is unethical or inappropriate, you<br />

have an obligation to speak up. Concerns can be raised in a<br />

number <strong>of</strong> ways:<br />

We will create a culture where all employees<br />

take responsibility for ethical behavior.<br />

Employees can bring issues to the attention <strong>of</strong> a supervisor.<br />

Employees can speak to human resources.<br />

Employees can raise issues with a third-party via<br />

on-line and telephone reporting systems. Please type<br />

“ethics.cummins.com” on your web browser for<br />

information about how to report your concerns.<br />

If you have a question about whether conduct is appropriate<br />

or lawful, you also may contact the <strong>Cummins</strong> Law Department<br />

for assistance. If you do not know who to contact in the Law<br />

Department, simply send a Lotus Note to “Law Department”<br />

and you will be contacted by the appropriate attorney from<br />

your region <strong>of</strong> the world.<br />
