Ethical Principles

Cummins ethics and governance initiatives are built around the 10 Statements of Ethical Principles in the Code of Business Conduct:

1. We will follow the law – everywhere.
2. We will embrace diverse perspectives and backgrounds and treat all people with dignity and respect.
3. We will compete fairly and honestly.
4. We will avoid conflicts of interest.
5. We will demand that everything we do leads to a cleaner, healthier and safer environment.
6. We will protect our technology, our information and our intellectual property.
7. We will demand that our financial records and processes are clear and understandable.
8. We will strive to improve our communities.
9. We will communicate with honesty and integrity.
10. We will create a culture where all employees take responsibility for ethical behavior.

Cummins puts these principles into practice through a comprehensive compliance training program targeting appropriate employee groups to promote ethical behavior.
