CUSTOMER SUPPORT ETHICS & GOVERNANCE In several areas, facility improvement progress slowed as the company neared goals and additional gains became more challenging. If goals are set aggressively, easy gains can be accomplished relatively quickly, but the remaining advances often require significant effort. This has been particularly true for energy efficiency, where Cummins is working on its third goal since 2006.
However, with the ingenuity and hard work of more than 58,000 employees around the world, the company is confident it will meet its 2020 goals.
