Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Management inOperations StandardApplies To
This document applies to all 3M operations.

Introduction and Background or Purpose
The Environment, Health & Safety Committee has set forth requirements in order to manage 3M greenhousegas (GHG) emissions.
GHGs are present in the environment as a result of natural occurrences and human activities. Local, nationaland regional programs regarding GHG emissions management are developing around the world. 3M
recognizes its responsibility to assess and manage its GHG emissions.

Requirements or Expectations
Overall responsibility for compliance with this document is assigned to Country, Division, and Plant
Management of 3M locations.
GHG emissions must be managed at 3M locations to comply with applicable government emissions
standards and the requirements listed below.
The following requirements apply to GHG emissions from 3M operations (manufacturing, laboratory, offices,distribution centers):•Emission Inventory. All locations must maintain records of energy consumption and process
emissions of GHGs, in order to input relevant activity data, emissions information, and supporting
documentation into corporate databases.
o Energy consumption must be reported for each location on a monthly basis to the Site Energy
Data Systems (SEDS) database.
o A process to identify, measure and report all sources of GHG emissions must be implemented.
All location process GHG emissions must be reported to the corporate EHS Laboratory byFebruary 15th of each year (for the previous calendar year).

The location must maintain all relevant process activity data, emissions information andsupporting documentation for all GHG sources in accordance with 3M record retention
schedules.
o Any changes to GHG emissions allocations and/or reductions, offsets, or credits must bereported to Corporate Environment along with the emissions data supplied to the EHSLaboratory.
GHG Reductions. Process emissions must be evaluated and managed as necessary to meet
corporate goals for GHG emissions.
o Corporate Environment must evaluate process GHG emissions (at least annually) to determine
progress toward any active corporate goal and the need for further control of GHG emissions
or the use of other mechanisms to reduce corporate GHG emissions to meet the goals.
Energy Efficiency. Energy conservation activities must be evaluated and managed as necessary tomeet corporate goals.
o Energy Management and Corporate Environment must evaluate energy efficiency
improvements on a quarterly basis, including the use of energy efficiency products.
o Progress toward the corporate energy goal(s) must be tracked and programs developed to
manage energy consumption.
o Energy Management must assess the potential use of renewable energy sources at 3Moperations.
o••

3M operations, including locations, divisions and countries, must consult with 3M Corporate Environment
before entering into any voluntary or regulatory agreements related to GHG emissions trading. 3M
Corporate Environment, as the designated representatives of the corporate EHS Committee, must consult
3M Treasury and 3M Government Affairs as necessary.
Failure to comply with these requirements may result in discipline, up to and including termination ofemployment.
