Sustainability at 3M
Sustainability starts at home. 3M’s commitment to environmental, economic and social stewardship grew from our steadfast belief in both innovation and ethical conduct – a belief that began long before sustainability became a business watchword.
In 1975, we introduced our Pollution Prevention Pays initiative – better known as 3P – which prevented pollution at the source, in products and during manufacturing. To date, 3P has resulted in the elimination of more than 3.5 billion pounds of pollution and saved us nearly $1.5 billion. Back then, this was considered innovative thinking. We just knew it was the right thing to do.
Today, at every opportunity, we strive to reduce our environmental footprint and increase sustainability in our processes and products and in the communities we serve in the effort to maintain a strong, vibrant business and leave a rich legacy upon which future generations can build.
