2021 SUSTAINABILITY PROGRESS REPORT | Cummins Inc. ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRESS // 26 MORE WORK NEEDED BEFORE PROGRESS CAN BE MEASURED ON PLASTICS GOAL This 2030 goal is still largely in the planning phase. Opportunities for progress have been identified, but more work is necessary before metrics are available to measure progress. A key action under discussion is the use of universally recyclable packaging content and eliminating problematic materials such as foam and mixed material packaging. This step, however, requires partnerning with suppliers on design and material selection and is a longer-term effort. The single-use plastics part of the goal has been limited in its progress during the pandemic, as many employees had not yet returned to their work locations in 2021 and the focus of site facility staff was on pandemic protocols. GOAL 7: Reuse or responsibly recycle 100% of packaging plastics and eliminate single-use plastics in dining facilities, at employee events and as amenities. NEAR NET ZERO LOGISTICS CENTER OPENS IN U.K A new Cummins logistics hub in Daventry, U.K., is being praised for its energy efficiency. The company’s United Kingdom Logistics Centre (UKLC), which opened in 2021, has been given a BREEAM Outstanding rating, a sustainability assessment ranking the facility in the top 1% of non-domestic buildings in the U.K. The UKLC is designed to be self-powered for half of the year, utilizing photo-voltaic solar panels on its roof capable of generating up to 1,472 kilowatts (kWp) and a Cummins QSK60G gas generator set in a standby application. Other environmentally focused features include the site’s ability to harvest rainwater and available electric vehicle charging stations for employees. The project also supported local businesses, using suppliers from within a 15-mile radius throughout construction. The developer offset the embodied carbon during the construction phase by participating in an effort to safeguard approximately 330 acres of rainforest.
