Cummins

Cummins, headquartered in the US and operating within the machinery and equipment n.e.c. industry, has set ambitious climate targets. The company aims to reduce its absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from facilities and operations by 50% by 2030, using 2018 as a baseline year. This commitment encompasses both Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. Furthermore, Cummins has pledged to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from the use of sold products by 25% by 2030, also from a 2018 baseline. The company's overarching environmental sustainability strategy, PLANET 2050, includes the aspiration to achieve carbon neutrality in its operations and products in use by 2050.

This figure comprises approximately 315.8 million kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions and approximately 405.9 million kg CO2e for Scope 2 emissions. Notably, Scope 3 emissions, specifically from the use of sold products, were reported as approximately 1,064 billion kg CO2e for 2025.

Looking at previous years, emissions have fluctuated. In 2024, total emissions were approximately 729.6 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 310.8 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at roughly 418.8 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products in 2024 were approximately 1,067 billion kg CO2e. For 2023, total emissions stood at approximately 757.4 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 316.4 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 440.9 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products in 2023 were approximately 1,167 billion kg CO2e. In 2022, total emissions were approximately 748.0 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 312.0 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at roughly 436.0 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products in 2022 were approximately 1,109 billion kg CO2e. For 2021, total emissions were approximately 771.7 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 309.8 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 461.9 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products in 2021 were approximately 1,163 billion kg CO2e. In 2020, total emissions were approximately 717.3 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 291.7 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at approximately 425.6 million kg CO2e; Scope 3 data was not reported for this year. In 2019, total emissions were approximately 860.5 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 342.1 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at around 518.3 million kg CO2e, with Scope 3 not reported. In 2018, total emissions were approximately 1,037.7 million kg CO2e, with Scope 1 at about 340.1 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 at roughly 697.6 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions from the use of sold products in 2018 were approximately 1,094 billion kg CO2e. Emissions data from 2017 and earlier years is also available, with Scope 1 and 2 figures provided, and in some instances, detailed Scope 3 categories.
