NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / July 16, 2024 / Cummins Inc.
Sustainability is not new to Cummins. For several decades, both sustainability and efforts related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues have been critical elements of the company's long-term business and growth strategies.

2023-2024 Cummins Sustainability Progress Report

Long before ESG entered the general lexicon, Cummins' values focused on producing engines that reduced environmental impact, supporting healthier communities and embracing diversity and inclusion.

With these principles embedded across the company, the ESG strategy is Cummins' business strategy. With the support and oversight of the Board of Directors, the company continues to
focus on sustainability, including efforts related to ESG. The board has oversight of Cummins' top ESG risks and opportunities in the following committees, depending on the topic: Talent Management and Compensation Committee; Safety, Environmental and Technology Committee;
Audit Committee; and the Governance and Nominating Committee. Leaders also review the ESG strategy and progress with the full board at least once per year. The company's Executive Director - Global Risk provides accountability over ESG strategic direction and serves as a primary point of contact for the board and the Cummins executive management team.
