Sustainability Report
For two decades, Cummins has partnered with stakeholders to set ambitious, public, industry-leading sustainability goals that reflect who we are, what we value and how we lead. As we mark 20 years of this work, the 2025-26 Sustainability Progress Report offers a moment to reflect on what we have achieved and why this commitment remains essential to our future.
As we look back and look ahead, our approach to sustainability and long-term success is enabled by a few key themes:
1. An unwavering commitment to our values and the health of the communities in which we operate
2. Our experienced leadership, deep application knowledge and a continued investment in our global workforce
3. Long-standing, trusted partnerships with our customers and an unyielding focus on delivering the greatest impact for all stakeholders
These themes come to life every day through the work of our more than 67,000 employees around the world, and we are proud to share their progress in this report.
