"We are honored to receive this recognition and to be mentioned alongside some of the premiere names in Corporate America," said Cummins Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tim Solso. "The last three years have been the most profitable in Cummins' history, but we're especially proud of the fact that we have been able to produce those results while remaining true to our core values of ethical business behavior and corporate social responsibility.

"We pride ourselves on operating under a set of values that emphasizes integrity, innovation, delivering superior results, corporate responsibility, diversity and global involvement. This recognition is further validation of the terrific work being done by Cummins employees worldwide every day."

Cummins was No. 35 on the 2007 list, up from No. 61 in 2006. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters was No. 1 on the list for the second straight year.

"The '100 Best' distinguish themselves from their peers at other large public companies by embracing higher standards--combining strong financial performance with responsible practices on environmental and social issues," said Michael Connor, Publisher and Editor of CRO magazine. "We salute the '100 Best' for their leadership roles in the field of corporate responsibility."

About the 100 Best Corporate Citizens list

The 100 Best Corporate Citizens list was developed by Business Ethics magazine, which was incorporated last year into The CRO, a premier membership organization for Corporate Responsibility Officers. In addition to its flagship publication, CRO magazine, The CRO offers members a variety of multimedia content including annual conferences, webinars, e-newsletters and original online material.

In addition to Cummins, the following companies have made the list all eight years: Intel, Timberland, Starbucks, Herman Miller, Cisco, Pitney Bowes, Southwest Airlines, Ecolab, Brady Corp. and St. Paul Travelers.

The 100 Best Corporate Citizens list uses data from Socrates, the online social research database created by KLD Research & Analytics in Boston, an independent research firm serving investment management professionals, to put a numerical rating on companies' service to various stakeholders.

The companies considered for the list include U.S. firms in the Russell 1000, the S&P 500, and the Domini 400 Social Index. These firms are ranked on service in eight stakeholder categories: shareholders, community, governance, diversity, employees, environment, human rights, and product.

Social scores use KLD's assessment of "strengths" and "concerns" demonstrated in each category. The shareholder score is based on three-year average total return (stock appreciation plus dividends) through year-end 2006.
