Cummins named to 2021 most responsible companies list

The list is based on publicly reported data for economic, social and governance performance. In 2020, the company was No. 17 on the magazine’s list of 400 companies.

“Neighbors, family, friends, first responders: we depend on, appreciate, and hope to be helpful to each other,” said Nancy Cooper, Global Editor in Chief. “Many corporations also step up. They care about being good citizens and give back to the communities they operate in.”

NO. 2 IN ITS INDUSTRY

Newsweek’s rankings, released online Dec. 2, are done in partnership with Statista, a leading provider of market and consumer research and data. The analysis was carried out in a four-step process starting with a pool of over 2,000 companies. The research also included an independent survey of more than 7,500 U.S. residents regarding what they expect of responsible companies.

The final list recognizes the top 400 most responsible companies in the U.S. across 14 industries: automotive and components; capital goods; consumer goods; energy and utilities; entertainment; leisure and dining; financial; health care and life sciences; materials; professional services; real estate and housing; retail; software and telecommunications; technology hardware; and travel; transport and logistics.

Cummins ranked No. 2 in the automotive and components category behind General Motors, which finished No. 12 in the overall rankings. Technology and software companies dominated the top five places on the magazine’s list, led by HP. The list will be included in the magazine’s print edition on Dec. 6.
