Cummins named to Best Corporate Citizens List for third year

The ranking is based on 180 factors around the environment and climate change, employee relations, governance, human rights, stakeholders and society, and overall ESG Performance.

"Achieving the transformational targets in the Paris Agreement and U.N. Sustainable Development Goals in this decisive decade requires all companies to truly embed ESG issues into the core of their business," said Dave Armon, CEO of 3BL media, a sustainability communications company that sponsors the ranking and a popular newsfeed on ESG topics. "The 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2023 are answering the call by demonstrating the societal and bottom-line value of leadership and transparency around ESG topics.

“They are setting ambitious goals, outlining robust strategies for achieving them, disclosing data to measure progress, and accounting for all stakeholders in business decisions,” Armon added.

Using a methodology developed by 3BL, all Russell 1000 Index companies are researched by ISS ESG, the responsible investment research arm of Institutional Shareholder Services. There is no fee for companies to be included in 100 Best Corporate Citizens. To compile the ranking, corporate data and information is obtained from publicly available sources only, rather than questionnaires or company submissions.

Companies have the option to verify data collected for the ranking at no cost. Data and information used in the 2023 edition of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking was collected between July 2022 to July 2023.

Cummins finished No. 88 in the ranking, receiving its highest individual scores on the environment, climate change, and human rights. This is the company's third year on the top 100 list. The global power technology leader has been recognized on several similar rankings over the past year including the 2022 S&P Dow Jones World and North American Sustainability Indices, a top 100 finish in JUST Capital's 2023 rankings of America's Most Just Companies, and a No. 4 ranking in Forbes magazine's list of the Best Employers for Women 2023.
