Cummins

Cummins, a machinery and equipment company headquartered in the US, has set ambitious targets to reduce its carbon emissions. For the reporting year 2025, the company reported approximately 721,714,000 kg CO2e in total emissions. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 315,788,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of approximately 405,926,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions, specifically from the use of sold products, were significantly higher, totalling about 1,064,000,000,000 kg CO2e.

In line with its commitment to sustainability, Cummins has established several key reduction initiatives. The company aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its facilities and operations by 50% by 2030, using 2018 as the baseline year. Furthermore, Cummins is working towards reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 25% by 2030, also from a 2018 baseline. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as being in line with a 1.5°C trajectory.

Looking further ahead, Cummins has an aspirational long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality in its operations and products by 2050, a strategy referred to as "Destination Zero" and integrated into its PLANET 2050 environmental sustainability strategy. This long-term vision signifies a commitment to powering customer success with net-zero emissions technology.

Previous emissions data shows a varied trend. For instance, in 2023, total emissions were approximately 757,354,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 316,447,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 440,907,000 kg CO2e. In 2018, total emissions were reported at approximately 1,037,679,000 kg CO2e, comprising Scope 1 emissions of about 340,115,000 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions of around 697,565,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products in 2017 were approximately 1,000,000,000,000 kg CO2e.

Cummins' reporting indicates a consistent effort to disclose emissions data across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, although specific data points, such as Scope 3 purchased goods and services, are noted as missing in some reporting years.
