On April 1, 2024, 3M completed the spin of Solventum. We want to provide clear data points for 3M just prior to the spin at the end of Q1 2024. Take a look at our Q1 2024 Global Impact Summary to see our results inclusive of Solventum and learn how 3M science is moving us forward.
Get details on the data. Our two metrics files inclusive of Solventum accompany our Q1 2024 Global Impact Summary and 2024 Global Impact Report. Our metrics file for continuing operations contains recast data excluding Solventum and provides historical context for future reporting.
More than ever, we need science to create a more positive future where everyone can thrive. The resilience of our planet, our people, and our economy depends on it.
As the expectations of our customers, employees, investors, and stakeholders continue to grow, we set meaningful and measurable goals that demonstrate our sustainability commitments and progress. Our employees are driven to pursue these goals and make a difference in the world — and we’re proud of the recognition their efforts have earned for 3M.
We're committed to innovate to accelerate global climate solutions, decarbonize industry, and do more with less to strengthen the circular economy.
We back initiatives that foster sustainable communities, including projects that promote STEM and skilled trades education, protect ecosystems, support local economies, and enhance livelihoods.
Our corporate governance practices serve the long-term interests of our shareholders, strengthen 3M’s Board of Directors and management, and further enhance public trust in 3M.
We approach our sustainability work through our Strategic Sustainability Framework. Its three pillars of Science for Circular, Science for Climate, and Science for Community help guide our business decisions and strategy, as well as how we focus our efforts on local and global community impact.
