Cummins Seymour: Superior Energy Performance Supports Cummins’ 40 x 2020 Energy Pledge

“We believe structured energy management and aggressive goals are key to making progress in global energy efficiency,” said Jennifer Rumsey, Vice President and Chief Technical Officer at Cummins Inc.

Cummins’ long-standing commitment to and achievement of sustainable energy practices has attracted awards and accolades. To further reduce its environmental footprint, the company has set progressively higher goals for wider certification to ISO 50001 and SEP—which will lead to even greater savings. The Seymour site demonstrates both direct energy savings through use of a state-of-the-art energy management system (EnMS) and decreasing costs as additional sites are certified under a single corporate enterprise. Use of the EnMS at Cummins Seymour also turned up some surprising findings: careful energy tracking often reveals hidden energy-intensive processes.

Upon receiving the prestigious Energy Management Leadership Award from the global Clean Energy Ministerial in 2016, Cummins announced plans to have 40 of its manufacturing sites certified to ISO 50001 by 2020—representing 90% of the company’s manufacturing carbon footprint. ISO 50001 provides a framework to help companies manage and continually improve energy performance, reducing costs and emissions year after year. This business-friendly standard embeds best practices into any organization and provides a global benchmark for climate and clean energy action.

Cummins soon augmented this pledge, declaring that it would also seek SEP certification for its 10 manufacturing sites responsible for the highest energy usage. Cummins sees these big energy users as prime sites for SEP which incorporates many low-cost and no-cost measures to deliver significant savings per dollar of investment. SEP certification requires facilities to implement rigorous energy analyses and demonstrate ongoing, third-party verified energy savings from the use of ISO 50001.
