In 2024, Cummins reported 1,076,564,300 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2024 disclosure of Cummins includes a breakdown across 14 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 1 in 2023, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2024, Cummins reported total Scope 3 emissions of 1,076,564,300 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 0.84% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 99.16% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Cummins's Scope 3 emissions have increased by 15.52%, reflecting a rising long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ac
Compared to the previous year (2023), Cummins's Scope 3 emissions remained relatively stable, indicating that Cummins's emissions have plateaued with no significant change in its value chain footprint.ab
In 2024, Cummins reported emissions for 14 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This reflects a high level of granularity and transparency in the company's emissions reporting.
In 2024, the largest contributors to Cummins's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2024, Cummins reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 347,439 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 34,102 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 10.19 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2024, Cummins reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 10.19 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 6.49, this places the company above its industry benchmark, indicating it is less carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2024, Cummins ranked 22 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
This places Cummins among the least efficient performers, with one of the highest emissions intensities in its sector.a
In 2024, Cummins reported a total carbon footprint of 1,077,442,324 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 7.74% decrease compared to 2023, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.ab
The largest contributor to Cummins's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 99.92% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 2 emissions at 0.05%.a
