Living Our Values
During 2007 we continued our focus on demanding that everything we do leads to a cleaner, safer, healthier environment. We published our fourth Sustainability Report. We have pledged to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions from our facilities by 25 percent by 2010 from 2005 levels (adjusted for sales) as part of our commitment to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Leaders Program.
The Cummins/Chrysler team that developed the innovative 6.7-liter diesel engine and engineered it into the Dodge Ram heavy-duty pickup truck won Chrysler’s Environmental Leadership Award. We were named to the Dow Jones World Sustainability Index for the third time.
Along with these initiatives, we were recognized for activities that reflect our efforts to operate with integrity and to create a great place to work.
We were selected a top company for diversity and the No. 1 company in the U. S. for Asian and Asian-Americans for the second time. We were singled out as one of the “100 best places to work in IT” by IDG’s Computerworld magazine. We were listed among the top ethical companies in the U. S. for the ninth straight year. We also were cited as one of the Top Companies for Leaders 2007 by Fortune magazine.
