Foundation Partners: Cummins Leads the Way to a Circular Future

In the journey towards Industry 6.0, true leadership means integrating sustainability into the very core of your business. We want to give a massive shout-out to Cummins, our foundation partner, who exemplifies this vision and has been instrumental in the inception and growth of Climate Action Schools.

Cummins didn't just start their sustainability journey yesterday; they began 16 years ago with a powerful commitment to avoid landfill and build a truly circular business model. Their global Master Rebuild Centres are a testament to this, now accounting for an incredible 50% of their business. This isn't just about being "good environmental eggs"; it's about functional sustainability – a strategic imperative that drives economic value and long-term resilience.

This deep commitment extends to our schools. Cummins has supported Climate Action Schools since its inception, even releasing their team one day a month to work on community projects, as we witnessed firsthand at Woodridge SHS. This is quality ESG in action, creating genuine impact and inspiring the next generation.

Inspired by Cummins' leadership? We encourage all industry partners to explore their journey towards continuous improvement in sustainability.

Our program's value is amplified by the incredible support of partners like The Industry Factory (TIF), James MacIntosh LEAN Consulting, OSAAP, Queensland Gaskets, Neuropower, Heavy Vehicles Industry Association (HVIA) and Visy. Their expertise makes Climate Action Schools a truly invaluable experience for our students and schools.

And to our pioneering schools – thank you for embracing this vision! We now have 25 schools wanting to join the program, eager to transform their operations and empower their students.

This is where you come in. We need more industry partners to join Cummins at the investment table. If you're looking for quality ESG outcomes, want to add tangible value to the talent pipeline, and achieve true sustainability in your supply chains, get in touch. Let's build the Industry 6.0 ecosystem, together.
