The company was also named to a leading financial publication’s list of the 100 Most Sustainable U.S. Companies during the same time period as Cummins strived for environmental, social and governance excellence. BUSINESS ETHICS Ethisphere is a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices. In 2022, the organization included 122 honorees on its World's Mo

By the early 2000’s, several car manufacturers in the world had a hydrogen car program, few with hydrogen engines; unf

As Tate tells it, he went from high school to the military, straight from the military to college, and

Keohane kicked off the chat by asking Linebarger to provide some background on Cummins and its support for climate policy. “Our mission statement is to make the world more prosperous, and in that definitio

Across the company, employees are working to be better stewards of this increasingly important resource. CUMMINS 2030 WATER REDUCTION GOAL One of Cummins’ 2030 goals in the company’s PLANET 2050 environmental sustainability strategy is to reduce water consumption in facilities and operations by 30%.

Cummins President and Chief Operating Officer Jennifer Rumsey was asked to attend the roundtable to relay Cummins’ support for private and public action and share how the shortage has impacted business.  In addition to Rumsey, executives from Whirlpool, HP, Medtron

Finding your niche in business is vital to remaining successful. For the last 11 years, Olympic Career Training Institute (OCTI) has done just that. OCTI has solidified its place in Memphis, Tennessee, a major U.S. distribution, logistics, and shipping hub.

Today, internal combustion engines have economies of scale due to their popularity across trucks, buses, construction, and agriculture equipment.

When you look at the increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions among these transportation applicat

Calling Syntyche Koumaglo an overachiever just may be an understatement. Growing up in Togo, a small country in West Africa, she often had to deal with hardships such as unreliable electricity. “I remember growing up with frequent power shortages and outages. I would be doing my homework and couldn’t finish because the power would just shut off. It’s a problem that still exists there today.” 

International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month offer an annual opportunity for celebrating the achievements of women around the world.
