Cummins Releases Sixth Annual Sustainability Report
Cummins Inc. last week released its sixth annual Sustainability Report on the company website, www.cummins.com. The report details Cummins’ environmental and corporate responsibility efforts, in addition to providing an overview of its business operations and recent financial results.
The report includes an explanation of the company’s recently released Climate Change Principles, created to detail Cummins’ position on this important environmental issue; an expanded Corporate Responsibility section, which includes a summary of the company’s new “business case” for corporate responsibility; financial highlights from Cummins’ record year in 2008; historical data and trends regarding the environmental impact of the company’s facilities and products worldwide; and information on Cummins’ corporate governance, safety and diversity efforts.
In addition to the full report, links to selected excerpts from this year’s Sustainability Report are available as part of the new Sustainability Report page on the Cummins website, http://www.cummins.com/cmi/content.jsp?siteId=1&langId=1033&menuId=1&overviewId=7&menuIndex=7. A limited number of bound copies of the report are expected to be available in mid-August.
