How a Manufacturer Drives Energy Procurement Savings & Efficiency
How is Cummins Inc. turning energy efficiency into a competitive advantage—both inside its operations and across its global customer base?
Join us for an engaging discussion with a senior leader from Cummins Inc. as we explore how the company is rethinking energy procurement, utilization, and innovation to advance its bold Destination Zero strategy.
In this candid conversation, you’ll hear how Cummins is driving measurable efficiency gains across its own facilities through investments in renewable energy, smart building systems, LED lighting, HVAC optimization, solar installations, motor upgrades, and regenerative dynamometers—delivering meaningful cost savings while significantly reducing CO2 emissions. Beyond internal operations, Cummins is also helping customers cut fuel use and emissions through advanced power solutions, including hydrogen fuel cells, battery energy storage, alternative fuels, and next-generation internal combustion engine controls such as stop-start technology.
The discussion will connect the dots between energy procurement decisions, operational efficiency, and long-term sustainability goals, offering real-world insights into how Cummins integrates energy strategy across manufacturing, transportation, power generation, and data center environments. Attendees will gain a behind-the-scenes look and case study at how a global industrial leader balances innovation, efficiency, and resilience while building scalable, low- and zero-emissions solutions for the future.
Whether you’re responsible for sourcing energy, managing facilities, shaping sustainability strategy, or supporting enterprise-wide procurement decisions, this session will provide practical takeaways and strategic perspective you can apply within your own organization.
