Cummins Inc. is ending the final quarter of the year with a flurry of awards and recognition for the company's work on sustainability and ESG excellence. The global power technology leader, for example, recently saw its ESG Rating from MSCI upgraded from AA a year ago to AAA last month, the highest rating possible. MSCI stands for Morgan Stanley Capital International. The firm is a leading provider of support tools and services for the investment community. MSCI said the upgrade was driven by the presence of new members on the Board of Directors, strong workforce management and health and safety programs, as well as efforts to reduce waste and emissions at plants and facilities. Also in November, Cummins received the Frost & Sullivan Institute's Enlightened Growth Leadership Best Practices Award for its work on climate action and other sustainability issues.
