Assurance statement.
About report 238 239 3M 2020 Sustainability Report #improvinglives Assurance statement.
INDEPENDENT ASSURANCE STATEMENT.
Introduction and objectives of work.
Apex Companies, LLC (Apex) was engaged by 3M Corporation (3M) to conduct an independent assurance of its 2020 3M Sustainability Report (the Report). This Assurance Statement applies to the related information included within the scope of work described below and within the boundaries specified in the Report. The intended users of the assurance statement are the stakeholders of 3M. The overall aim of this process is to provide assurance to 3M’s stakeholders on the accuracy, reliability and objectivity of the information included in the Report as described in the scope of work. The assurance process also evaluated 3M’s management of sustainability in accordance with the principles of inclusivity, materiality and responsiveness.
The information that was assured and its presentation in the Report are the sole responsibility of the management of 3M. Apex was not involved in the drafting of the Report. Our sole responsibility was to provide independent assurance on its content.
Scope of work 3M requested Apex to include in its independent assurance the following: § Data included in the Report for the calendar year 2019 reporting period as shown in the attached Summary of Assured Information; § Appropriateness and robustness of underlying reporting systems and processes, used to collect, analyze and review the data subject to the assurance process; and § Evaluation of the Report in accordance with the Assurance Standard AA1000AS (2008)1 Type 2 assurance.
Excluded from the scope of our work is any assurance of information relating to: § Text or other written statements associated with the Report; § Activities outside the defined assurance period; and § Financial data and data reported that are not included in the Summary of Assured Information.
Reporting Criteria § World Resources Institute (WRI)/World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions) § WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Value Chain Accounting and Reporting Standard (Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions) § GRI Standards, Core Option for the assured metrics § 3M reporting protocol.
Methodology.
Apex undertook the following activities during the assurance process: 1. Interviews with relevant personnel of 3M (including managers and staff members at the corporate and site level); 2. Review of internal and external documentary evidence produced by 3M;

3. Audit of performance data presented in the Report including a detailed review of a sample of data; 4. Visits to manufacturing sites located in Columbia, Missouri, Corona, California, Nevada, Missouri, Springfield, Missouri; 5. Remote data reviews for manufacturing sites located in Blacktown, NSW, Australia, Clitheroe, United Kingdom, Kuan-Yin, greater China Region; 6. Remote review at 3M headquarters office located in Maplewood, Minnesota (remote review conducted due to restrictions from COVID-19); and 7. Review of 3M data and information systems for collection, aggregation, analysis and internal verification and review.
The work was planned and carried out to provide a moderate level of assurance and we believe it provides a sound basis for our conclusions.
Our findings.
On the basis of our methodology and the activities described above: § Nothing has come to our attention to indicate that the reviewed information within the scope of our assurance is not materially correct in accordance with the Reporting Criteria.
§ It is our opinion that 3M has established appropriate systems for the collection, aggregation and analysis of quantitative data, including energy use, direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water consumption, waste quantities and disposition, injury and illness rate, lost day rate, severity rate and number of environmental violations.
A summary of data within the scope of assurance for 2019 is attached.
Adherence to the AA1000 Accountability Principles.
Based on the work undertaken during this assurance process, we are of the opinion that 3M adheres to the Accountability Principles of inclusivity, materiality and responsiveness as discussed below.
Inclusivity.
Based on discussions with 3M, their processes appear to be inclusive of stakeholders. In 2018, 3M commissioned a third party provider to update their materiality assessment and used that assessment to identify and engage stakeholders. Some of the stakeholder groups that 3M identified to include in their sustainability processes were 3M employees, customers, nongovernmental organizations, investors and the public.
