2021 SUSTAINABILITY PROGRESS REPORT | Cummins Inc. ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRESS // 28 The Nature Conservancy’s goal is to reduce nutrient loading in the river basin by 20% by 2025. The basin includes Cummins’ headquarters city of Columbus, Indiana. Cummins Water Works’ partnership with The Nature Conservancy is just one initiative the program has developed. To learn more, see the story ( page 41 ) in the Community Engagement section. In July of 2021, Cummins launched a new strategic initiative called Cummins Water Works to address the global water crisis. The program partners with leading water experts around the world to invest and engage in sustainable, large-scale, high impact water projects. The initiative is a major step forward toward PLANET 2050’s goal to produce net water benefits that exceed Cummins’ annual water use in all regions where the company does business. The program, supported by $8.5 million in Cummins grants, is initially focusing on four of the most water-stressed countries: Mexico, Brazil, India and the United States. By 2030, Cummins Water Works’ goal is to bring fresh water to more than 20 million people who would otherwise not have access to it. The program team quickly got to work, announcing on World Water Day (March 22, 2022) a $3 million, three-year grant to The Nature Conservancy to improve water quality in the Mississippi River basin in the United States. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT GOAL MOVING FULL STEAM AHEAD Cummins has long helped strengthen communities through its environmental volunteerism, engaging in numerous initiatives, from working with residents to safely preserve rainwater in impoverished neighborhoods outside São Paulo, Brazil, to helping villages establish sustainable water supplies near the company’s campus in Phaltan, India. GOAL 9: Produce net water benefits that exceed Cummins’ annual water use in all Cummins regions. DOING OUR PART BY THE NUMBERS 8.5 MILLION Cummins’ support in dollars for the Cummins Water Works initiative. PLANET 2050 TAPS INTO ENVIRONMENTAL CHAMPIONS PROGRAM Cummins is more fully integrating the company’s PLANET 2050 strategy and 2030 environmental sustainability goals into its Environmental Champions’ training. The Environmental Champions program at Cummins trains employees across the company to identify practices and processes that could be improved to shrink Cummins’ environmental footprint. Energy, greenhouse gas, water, waste/ circular economy and environmental management system basics are included in the in-person champions’ training as well as the training delivered virtually. The online training modules are now available for all employees and are a prerequisite to attend Environmental Champions’ training. A total of 359 employees completed online training in 2021 and 192 employees from 81 priority sites attended a live, virtual site- level training.
