The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the company’s efforts, but much was accomplished in 2021. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT // GOAL ALIGNMENT Cummins’ community engagement initiatives align with these U.N. Sustainable Development Goals: ENGAGEMENT One of Cummins’ chief metrics for community engagement is employee participation in Cummins’ Every Employee Every Community (EEEC) program, which enables employees to use at least four work hours to volunteer in their communities. In-person employee volunteerism remained limited in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so employees found innovative ways to volunteer safely. Projects included writing letters to the elderly, packing meals for children, providing virtual tours of Cummins facilities for young students and more. In all, almost 40,000 employees participated in the EEEC program in 2021 by volunteering more than 186,000 hours with nonprofits around the world. 56% 35% 2021 GRANT MAKING Global community giving reached a new record in 2021, totaling $35.7 million, a 62% increase from 2020.
