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 ESG 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.
