Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) announced today that New York Moves
Magazine (Moves Magazine) has recognized the Cummins Powers Women
program in its 2018 Power Women Awards. Mary Chandler, Vice
President of Corporate Responsibility and Chief Executive Officer
of the Cummins Foundation, accepted the award on behalf of
Cummins.
“Cummins is very honored to receive this award for our
commitment to the advancement and prosperity of women and girls
around the world,” said Chandler. “Engineering solutions that build
prosperous communities has been part of who we are since our
company’s founding. We continue this legacy of community
problem-solving with Cummins Powers Women, our most ambitious
community initiative ever. We hope this work will encourage other
businesses to invest in organizations like Rise Up, CARE and Girls
Inc., and help make exponential change in the lives of women and
girls around the world.”
The Cummins Powers Women program represents the next phase of
Cummins’ commitment to women and girls, and large-scale community
impact that powers a more prosperous world. Cummins has invested
more than $10 million in a small group of expert global non-profit
organizations with existing, outcome-based programs to accelerate
gender equality. Cummins’ investment will support a range of
effective programs, including grassroots teaching and mentoring,
financial advancement through entrepreneurship, leadership
training, and strategic guidance to non-profit leaders.
Moves Magazine, a national consumer lifestyle magazine, covers
global topics showing how women shape the world through advocacy
for women’s rights, social fairness and equal opportunity. Its
annual Power Women Gala celebrates women from all spheres who
endorse these aims and make a difference. The Cummins Powers Women
program is being recognized for its impact in advancing gender
equality around the world.
“Gender equality is good for everyone,” said Tom Linebarger,
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Cummins. “Around the world,
girls are less likely to finish high school, more likely to be
married as children, and less likely to have career prospects or
receive fair pay as adults. Gender equity, if achieved, would add
$28 trillion to the global economy. That means more for everyone.
Businesses will benefit from larger talent pools and better
financial results, and communities benefit because women strengthen
entire families and ensure generational educational
attainment.”
