Materiality. |
During the 2018 materiality assessment stakeholders indicated that 3M should take a leadership role. The Chief Technology Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer report annually to the Board’s Science, Technology and Sustainability Committee regarding sustainability efforts. In addition, corporate leadership appear to support embedding sustainability principles throughout the company. Background information can be found in the 3M proxy statement. 3M is planning to update the materiality statement in 2020. |
Responsiveness 3M receives questions regarding sustainability from customers, investors, non-governmental organizations and others through various channels. The company has guidance for responding to customer inquiries on sustainability issues and uses this guidance for responding to other groups as well. Responses to surveys are coordinated by the corporate sustainability group. Each business group also has sustainability leads who assist with responding to stakeholders. In addition, through the materiality assessment, 3M is building out a strategy for future sustainability efforts. External community partnership relationships have been tied to the sustainability pillars. |
Key Observations for 2019 § Data systems at 3M allow for consolidation and review of environmental, safety, energy, training, and supply chain data at the corporate level for reporting. Automatic data compilation from the site levels and other data sources assist accurate data collection and compilation. |
§ Manufacturing plants in water stressed areas have developed water plans and 3M is working to continue to improve the plans through standardization and working with regional groups. |
§ 3M has made commitments to decrease the overall carbon footprint as evidenced by purchasing power from renewable sources for the corporate facilities as well as renewable energy credits. |
§ 3M continued to work within their supply chain, specifically with paper providers and minerals suppliers, to engage higher Tier suppliers to ensure sustainable practices are being followed. |
§ Starting in 2019, each new product will have a Sustainability Value Commitment that will embed sustainability into every product. |
§ Community outreach and support is aligned with the 3M sustainability pillars to demonstrate overall commitment and direction to social and sustainability goals. Corporately, the 3M Foundation provides funding to targeted non-profit organizations in the U.S. and within their global footprint. 3M engagement extends to the facility level and local communities. |
