Cummins Aligns Investments to Sustainability Goals

Cummins Inc. aims to reach its sustainability goals with a record of actions. Creating an effective decarbonization plan for a net-zero transition is not easy.

When the United States announced targets to halve greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2030 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050, some 400 large US-based companies also committed to net-zero targets of their own, many of which have set ambitious emissions reductions targets for 2030 or sooner.

cummins net-zero goals

Cummins's goals cover three major priorities:
1. Addressing climate change and air emissions
2. Using natural resources sustainably
3. Partnering so that our communities are better because we are there

Cummins, a motor vehicle manufacturing firm that specializes in diesel and alternative fuel engines and generators, and related components and technology is entailing a comprehensive and rapid effort to decarbonize the economy.

Just last week, Cummins acquired Siemens Commercial Vehicle business for $197 million to boost the company's electric powertrains capabilities to follow-on from the $3.7 billion acquisition of Meritor.

From Diesel to Destination Zero

The company is making great progress on their Destination Zero target through hydrogen, electrification, electrolyzers, RNG demonstrations, dual-fuel engines, battery systems, and other initiatives.

The company is aiming to achieve its net zero goal by 2030, which includes:

  • Reduce absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from facilities and operations by 50%.
  • Reduce scope 3 absolute lifetime GHG emissions from newly sold products by 25%.
  • Partner with customers to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions from products in the field by 55 million metric tons.
  • Reduce volatile organic compound emissions from paint and coating operations by 50%.
  • Create a circular lifecycle plan for every part to use less, use better, and use again.
  • Generate 25% less waste in facilities and operations as a percent of revenue.
