The Cummins campus in Guarulhos, Brazil, is near several major highways and São Paulo’s international airport. Traffic in the area is frequently bumper-to-bumper. Green space is limited. But over the past three years, nearly 800 Cummins employees have planted some 5,000 trees in the area. Not only has their work helped beautify the city, the air is cleaner, dust has been reduced and temperature
In Fridley, Minn., Cummins is making significant strides to reduce production waste thanks in part to a partnership with Rise, Inc. The local not-for-profit helps create job opportunities for people who have significant disabilities and other employment barriers. The Rise employees work on a variety of tasks including the plant’s recycling efforts, which have increased significantly in recent y
The undergraduates, who are working with Cummins as part of their degree studies, have organized displays and activities on the St Andrew’s Road site as part of World Environment Day. On show were a range of the latest techniques and products available from local specialists and community partners to reduce water consumption, power usage and food waste.

Besides being the preferred dinner for pandas, bamboo is the ecologically preferable source for high-end flooring, soft towels and ...buildings stronger than steel. Employees at Cummins Research and Technology India (CRTI) in Pune put their engineering skills to work so people in rural areas could have a lower cost alternative for building materials.

Cummins India employees in Pune are well aware of the congestion along Karve Road. It’s one of the main approaches to the Cummins India facilities in the city and can be jammed with cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles, motorized rickshaws and bicycles, too. But employees didn’t just complain about the 148,000 vehicles that pass along the road each day. They put their data analysis and problem solv
Rebuilding high horsepower engines is an inherently “green” activity, potentially tripling the life of an engine. The Distribution Business Unit’s High Horsepower Master Rebuild Center in Dubai, however, doesn’t stop there in practicing good environmental stewardship. Cummins built its Middle East headquarters in Dubai in 2010 and achieved LEED gold certification in 2012 when it finished the Re

The news is good from Padarwadi, but there have been some difficult times, too. It’s been more than two years since the tiny village in India, accessible only by foot, received a generator converted by engineers at Cummins India to run on oil from a local seed. The generator powered a small mill to husk the rice that village residents grew so they didn’t have to make hundreds of trips to the
Since January 2011, the Cummins Darlington (U.K.) Engine Plant hasn’t sent any waste to a landfill. That’s nothing in more than 16 months. Zero. Nada. And on top of that, the plant has reduced associated annual operating costs by $159,000. Darlington achieved its “zero landfill” status by making waste reduction a plant priority, and then using processes, tools and resources – most notab
