Cummins has received a 2023 Energy Management Insight Award from the Clean Energy Ministerial, a high-level global forum to promote policies and programs that advance clean energy technology, to share lessons learned and best practices and to encourage the transition to a global clean energy economy. Cummins earned the award for producing a high-quality case study to share insights on the process and benefits of setting up an energy management system certified to the global ISO energy 50001 efficiency standard.
In 2016, Cummins won the CEM Award of Excellence for its nine ISO 50001 certified sites. At the awards ceremony of the Clean Energy Ministerial, Jennifer Rumsey, Cummins’ CEO – who was chief technical officer at the time – announced at that time that the company goal was to certify 40 sites to ISO 50001 by 2020. Cummins has since exceeded this goal by expanding the ISO 50001 certification to 45 sites. Having previously won the Award of Excellence, Cummins was eligible for the Insight Award for recognition of the expansion of ISO 50001 and CO2 reductions from 2018 to 2021.
“Not only has the company obtained real cost savings and CO2 reductions … the enterprise-wide approach makes the ISO 50001 implementation much more efficient and supports our progress towards Corporate Energy Goals,” said Sylvie Doré , director-facility, Environmental Center of Excellence.
Of the 45 sites around the globe that are ISO 50001 certified, 16 are in the United States, including two in Charleston, South Carolina; one in Clovis, New Mexico; six in Columbus, Indiana; and one each in Cookeville, Tennessee; Fridley, Minnesota; Lakewood, New York; Mineral Point, Wisconsin; Neillsville, Wisconsin; Stoughton. Wisconsin; and Whitakers, North Carolina.
