Prepare for the Environment Challenge

In order to ensure the smooth development of the environmental challenge competition at Cummins' global subsidiaries, Cummins headquarters invites internal experts in areas such as energy efficiency, environmental strategy and compliance, and corporate social responsibility, and conducts relevant training for senior leaders and employees. The training of senior leaders includes the environmental challenge competition process and evaluation criteria. The training content of employees mainly focuses on energy efficiency, water resources protection and waste disposal. Through training, employees can master the knowledge and skills of the environmental challenge competition project.

In the early stage of the environmental challenge project, Cummins employees used the company's Community Needs Analysis (CNA) tool to design questionnaires based on the specific environmental issues of different communities. They took the questionnaires to local communities and listened to the needs of local communities. After the completion of the community needs survey, the employees were further surveyed to understand the areas of CSR service that employees are interested in and are better at. After comparing the findings of the community and employees, we found common ground and identified the most suitable environmental projects for employees. At the end of each year, Cummins China's subsidiaries will submit the next year’s local corporate social responsibility work plan to the China Regional Headquarters. The Chinese headquarters select the projects that can participate in the environmental challenge to plan in advance and build a business leader as the project. The sponsor's project team promotes the smooth implementation of the environmental challenge project.

Under the leadership of the leadership, employees participate in all stages of the environmental challenge competition project, including project planning, organization, coordination and communication with community partners, recipients and other institutions, project implementation, summary, reporting, and publicity. aspect.

The nine projects cover three aspects: energy efficiency improvement, water resources protection and environmental education. These include:

Dongfeng Cummins Green Hanjiang Project: At present, the main pollution of the Han River comes from the wastewater and pollutants discharged from coastal animal husbandry and aquaculture, which are discharged into the coastal rivers without treatment. 290 employees of Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company invested in this project. They visited a number of farms in the local area and selected suitable partners to help the farm establish a biogas station with an annual output of 1,825,000 cubic meters of biogas, converting the discharged wastewater into Biogas is used by 240 nearby villagers and provides local residents with training on biogas safety. The project will save 15,000 tons of fuelwood per year, reduce 20,000 tons of CO2 emissions, reduce the discharge of 235,000 tons of wastewater, and protect the water quality of the Han River.

Cummins Filtration changed waste into treasure Golden straw project: China's Cummins Filtration staff put forward straw solutions for turning waste into treasure, helping to reduce the pollution caused by farmers burning straw. The solution includes Cummins employees' skills training for local residents, including the use of straw as a fertilizer for mushroom cultivation, and the use of related raw materials for making handicrafts. These solutions not only reduce the burning of 11,000 tons of straw and reduce a total of 21,000 tons of carbon emissions, but also create new revenue sources and very substantial benefits for local farmers.

Cummins China Natural Angels Project: Community Education Team of the Purchasing Team of Cummins China initiated in 2014 the children's environmental education project for children of natural angels' migrant workers. The 520 students who follow their parents to the big cities accepted the environmental education that is generally lacking in primary schools for migrant children. In addition to regularly teaching environmental protection courses for children, it also helps to build gardens and ecological angles for schools, and successfully increased the campus green area from the original 2% to 10%.

The environmental challenge project has had a huge social impact and has created extremely high value for the environmental protection cause. In 2014 alone, the global environmental benefits generated by the project were equivalent to the recycling of 5,500 Olympic-size swimming pools. Within the scope of China, the total project benefits include: 5,734 tons of greenhouse gas emission reductions, 1,224 tons of water-savings, and 126,748 people with widespread environmental protection knowledge.

In the next five years, Cummins will encourage more leaders and employees to participate in the project, pay more attention to the use of professional skills of employees, copy successful projects to more communities, and continue to implement corporate social responsibility through environmental protection competitions and other environmental protection actions. Create far-reaching community influence.
