A message from Mike Roman 3M is a long-time leader in Sustainability.
We started our groundbreaking Pollution Prevention Pays program back in 1975 — preventing over two million tons of pollution to date — and we are continuously working to build on our leadership. Over the last two decades, for example, as 3M’s revenues have doubled, we have reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by nearly 70%, and moved 35% of our manufacturing sites to zero waste. At the same time, we’ve intensified our focus on creating a range of innovative solutions that help our customers be more sustainable — from glass bubbles that enable lower vehicle weight and improved fuel economy, to films that make homes, businesses, and electronics more energy efficient. I’m pleased that last year alone, 3M Science helped our customers avoid 17 million metric tons of emissions, which is the equivalent of taking more than three million cars off the road.1.
The COVID-19 pandemic underscores the critical role that science and the business community have in solving global challenges.
As a science-based company, our highest priorities have been the safety of our employees and the safety of the public, which includes supporting our heroic health care workers and first responders with vital products and supplies.
I think often about the impact I want to make on the world in my personal life and in the organization I am honored to lead.
For 3M, our purpose is articulated in our vision statement, ending with “improving every life.” It’s also reflected in our commitment to Sustainability, which is a value that matters deeply to our people, to our customers, and to me personally.
I am tremendously proud of how our 96,000 employees have stepped up with urgency to advance solutions for all of our stakeholders — from communities around the globe and the health care teams that serve them, to our customers, employees, investors and business partners.
This shared global experience further deepens our commitment to continue advancing science and Sustainability, which includes our three priority areas: • Science for Circular: Design solutions that do more with less material, advancing a global circular economy • Science for Climate: Innovate to decarbonize industry, accelerate climate solutions and improve our own environmental footprint • Science for Community: Create a more positive world through science and inspire people to join us.
In 2019, we took several big actions as part of this new framework.
Starting last year, we are formally embedding Sustainability into every 3M product, meaning that each new product must help solve an environmental or social challenge. Several new products — such as our 3M™ Smog-reducing Granules and Scotch-Brite™ sponges with scrubbing fibers made of all recycled material — reflect this value.
Additionally, we moved our St. Paul headquarters to 100% renewable electricity, while committing to move our entire global operations across 70 countries to renewable electricity by 2050. And we took several other actions to accelerate our Sustainability leadership — from partnering with Clean Air Asia to create more livable cities, to establishing a new goal to provide 300,000 hours of skills-based volunteerism by 2025.
We also continue to advance the knowledge and importance of science itself.
We’re finding new and more exciting ways to support STEM education, and you’ll see examples throughout this report. We have appointed one of our top engineers, Dr. Jayshree Seth, to be 3M’s first-ever Chief Science Advocate.
And we continue to partner with Nobel Media to support science. In 2019, we hosted events with Nobel Laureates and students in Asia, Europe, and Latin America.
Our commitment to Sustainability includes active management of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) related issues. As with everything, we are guided by the principles of sound science, corporate responsibility, and transparency, and are committed to being part of the solution. I encourage you to visit our PFAS Stewardship website to learn more about the actions we are taking.
The climate, environmental, and public health challenges the world faces may seem daunting, but they are not insurmountable — especially if tackled with a collaborative, purpose-driven, and science-based approach. In addition to our ongoing support for the UN Global Compact, as CEO of 3M, I commit to doing our part and partnering with others to make this a decade of action — for the sake of our business and the greater good.

In 2019, 3M technologies helped our customers avoid tons of emissions the equivalent of taking 3M+ cars off the road.
17M metric 4 5 3M 2020 Sustainability Report #improvinglives A message from our CEO Our leadership
We began directing our efforts to align with the Strategic Sustainability Framework announced in November 2018, advancing our core pillars — Science for Circular, Science for Climate, and Science for Community. We also implemented a new requirement, announced in December 2018, that every product entering 3M’s new product commercialization process must have a Sustainability Value Commitment (SVC), demonstrating how it drives impact for the greater good.
These foundational elements provided an invigorating start to a year filled with new commitments, engagements, partnerships, and progress toward our 2025 Sustainability Goals. I am pleased to share some of the highlights, as well as our commitment to further action in the months and years ahead.
To advance Science for Circular, we moved 35.4% of our manufacturing sites to zero waste to landfill status, gained membership in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation CE100, and established Circular Economy Working Groups within 3M to increase the use of renewable and recycled materials. We built upon 3M’s history of creating sustainable solutions and collaborating with our customers to help them reach their own Sustainability goals, launching products such as 3M™ Thinsulate™ 100% Recycled Featherless Insulation, which mimics the warmth and performance of down through tiny fibers made from postconsumer recycled plastic.
To advance Science for Climate, we continued to improve our own energy footprint. In February, CEO Mike Roman committed to moving our entire global operations to 100% renewable electricity by 2050 through membership in the RE100 and doubled our interim target to 50% by 2025 (having already achieved our goal of 25%). Shortly after, we flipped the switch to 100% renewable sources of electricity at our global headquarters. We expanded upon one of our most innovative climate solutions to date — 3M™ Smog-reducing and Cool Roofing Granules — with a commercial application, allowing buildings of all types to fight air pollution and rising temperatures. Externally, 3M had strong executive participation and the opportunity to share best practices with global climate leaders at the United Nations Climate Action Summit and Climate Week in New York City as well as COP25 in Madrid.
To advance Science for Community, we unveiled an additional 2025 Sustainability Goal. Through the expansion of 3M Impact, our skillsbased employee volunteer program, we committed to 300,000 work hours of service across the globe. This program builds upon existing philanthropic and social Sustainability programs supporting the workforce of the future — both in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, as well as skilled trades. 3M products are improving lives around the world, whether it’s increasing physician productivity with our M*Modal® Fluency Direct™ speech recognition system or responding to the global crisis by rapidly ramping production of personal protective equipment, such as the 3M™ 8210 (N95) and 3M™ 8511 (N95) respirators, aiding the fight against wildfires and the global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. According to the World Health Organization1, more than seven million people die prematurely each year due to air pollution. Because most of the world’s 50 most polluted cities are in Asia, we formed a new partnership with the international non-governmental organization Clean Air Asia, which will leverage 3M’s expertise to improve air quality and the lives of people in New Delhi and metro Manila.
I am proud that Sustainability remains at the heart of 3M.
It anchors purpose-driven innovation in our products, manufacturing processes, and new technologies — and we’re always trying to do more. We know that together with our employees, customers, partners, government, and communities, we can collaborate to solve shared global challenges and achieve the future vision we seek. As always, I look forward to sharing our progress at 3M and partnering with others to improve lives around the world.
