The 2020 Peer Group consists of the following 17 public companies:
| 3M Company | Ecolab Inc. | Parker-Hannifin Corporation | ||||||
| Caterpillar Inc. | Emerson Electric Co. | PPG Industries, Inc. | ||||||
| Cummins Inc. | Fortive Corporation | Rockwell Automation, Inc. | ||||||
| Deere & Company | General Dynamics Corporation | Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. | ||||||
| Dover Corporation | Honeywell International Inc. | Trane Technologies plc | ||||||
| Eaton Corporation plc | Johnson Controls International plc |
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company reviews the peer group annually and from time to time changes the composition of the peer group where changes are appropriate. In 2020, the Compensation Committee added Ecolab Inc. as it meets the Company's industry and size criteria, and Trane Technologies plc, which is the company resulting from the spin-off of Ingersoll-Rand plc and its combination with certain businesses of Gardner Denver, Inc. As a result, Ingersoll-Rand plc was removed, as well as Raytheon Company, which merged with United Technologies Corporation and no longer meets the Company's industry and size criteria. Although Fortive Corporation was added to the Company's peer group in 2017, it was excluded from the five year cumulative total return as there was insufficient historical data due to its spin-off from Danaher Corporation in 2016.
Repurchases of Common Stock— On August 3, 2018, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program which provides for the repurchase of up to $3.0 billion of the Company's common stock over an open-ended period of time (the "2018 Program"). As of December 31, 2020, there were approximately $1.2 billion of authorized repurchases remaining under the 2018 program. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company temporarily suspended its share repurchase program starting in March 2020.
