Our former CEO and Chairman of the company (also the founder member), Mr. J Irwin Miller laid basis for the core value of Diversity within Cummins. Quoting his words on Diversity In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, or in persons with certain accents, or in certain races, or in persons holding degrees from some universities over other. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
