Commitment to anti-corruption. |

Depen... |
Further, the Ethics & Compliance Department collaborates with 3M Legal Affairs on due-diligence processes related to potential equity investments and mergers and acquisitions. These processes help identify risks in the target company before an acquisition or investment is initiated and accelerate our efforts to integra... |
Raising third-party awareness of 3M ethics and compliance expectations. |
To enhance our communications with and expectations of third parties, 3M has an online training course and a brochure for our business partners, available in 30 languages.

Our actions. |
Global Ethics & Compliance Week. |
For the first time, we held a global, virtual Ethics & Compliance Week from October 12-16, 2020. This year’s theme was “Your Roadmap to the Right Way” and focused on making the right and ethical decisions in the workplace. |
On October 13, we held a global, virtual live event, with presenters and participants from 3M operations worldwide. The event featured a compilation of self-filmed videos by 3M employees from around the globe sharing their personal thoughts on what ethics and compliance means to them. 3M CEO Mike Roman provided a messa... |
Because the most frequent resource employees go to with ethical or compliance questions is their manager, the Ethics & Compliance Department publishes a series of supervisor toolkits. These toolkits, available in 12 languages, contain reference materials and case studies to help supervisors effectively address employee... |
We have also had great success with our leadership video series, where executives share their stories of how they have handled ethical situations in the past or their thoughts on doing the right thing at 3M. These videos are translated with subtitles and have been popular throughout the year. |
“I feel very proud to work in one of the most ethical companies in the world.” |
Global Ethics & Compliance Week participant. |
A post-event survey confirmed that employees appreciated the global nature of the event and the leadership stories. More than 80% of the respondents said they were more confident to speak up after the event. |
Communications to support our employees and supervisors. |
In 2020, 3M Ethics & Compliance further enhanced our internal communications by leveraging an internal social networking platform to share compliance-related information and drive real-time conversations with global employees. |
We recognize the power of storytelling to inspire and influence ethical behavior. We continued our video series called “My Moment of Truth,” which shares the personal stories of 3M employees who had the courage to speak up and do the right thing. The series was intentionally unpolished and showed real employees in thei... |
which is 10 times greater than any single previous in-person Ethics & Compliance Week event. |
During the week, dedicated messages were shared to build on what was learned during the virtual event, including communications on Living the Code, Speak Up, pressure, organizational justice and fairness, and conflicts of interest. The global event was followed by area events in Latin America; Asia Pacific; and Europe,... |
This virtual platform provided an opportunity to reach over 10K participants, |

Data analysis and metrics. |
The Ethics & Compliance Department continued to make strides in data science. Data modeling was used to further refine risk assessment processes related to compliance evaluations and business partners. The cycle time to create our compliance reporting metrics continued to improve, and reports were automated for deliver... |
In alignment with 3M’s new global operating model, we leveraged a business analytics tool to quickly adapt our compliance reports to accommodate the new reporting structures. |
This year, we again implemented an ethical culture survey for 3M sales professionals. Through analyzing the survey results, we were able to correlate the frequency of discussion that a manager has with their employees about ethics and compliance with other measures, including the willingness of employees to speak up as... |
Training enhancements. |
In 2020, our online adaptive learning training platform has continued to be well-received by employees. Leveraging data from our training platform, Ethics & Compliance is able to identify additional training needs through data analysis. To drive improved on-time online training course completions, we continue to levera... |
Recognizing that people have different learning styles, Ethics & Compliance identified and launched two new video series to engage learners with fresh content. The videos became available at the end of 2020 and will continue into 2021. |
Acquisition integration. |
Over the course of 2020, leveraging novel tracking tools and cross-team, cross-geography work groups, we successfully integrated 3M’s largest acquisition into our ethics and compliance platforms, processes, and culture. Through this work, the Ethics & Compliance Department established a close partnership with 3M’s Heal... |

Adaptations to our ethics and compliance program based on the COVID-19 global pandemic. |
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Ethics & Compliance Department made adaptations to our program to accommodate the challenges of the year while still meeting compliance requirements. |
• In March 2020, Ethics & Compliance Department employees transitioned to a virtual work environment, including the shift of our ethics and compliance investigation and evaluation processes to a remote model, leveraging technology to gather information that would have been previously sought in-person. |
• We adjusted our training schedule by allowing employees to complete scheduled courses earlier than its scheduled deployment and expanded the time to complete courses from four weeks to six weeks. |
• In collaboration with other corporate functions, we leveraged ethics and compliance platforms to address risks associated with the current environment, including communication on insider trading, and separate compliance attestations for employees’ return to the workplace and for those in business with increased press... |
Despite the challenging remote work environment, our operations continued to remain strong and effective. Organizational enhancement. |
The Ethics & Compliance Department continues to leverage and strengthen our global ethics and compliance network. In December 2020, a series of enhancements were announced, including standardization of the roles and titles of people who support the network, clarification on the time spent in these roles, and creation o... |
We reached 100% completion of our annual code certification in the quickest time in our history. |
We had the highest ever on time completion rate for our online compliance courses. We saw a significant increase in calls to our hotline, with much of the increase related to the COVID-19 crisis. We communicated to executives this increase, as well as our strategy, so they were better able to understand the complexity ... |
We successfully evolved our in-person training to a virtual environment, reaching approximately 25K employees. |

Looking forward. |
In 2021, ethics and compliance will remain at the core of what we do for our employees, customers, communities, and shareholders. |
Data analysis will remain a focus to drive efficiencies and prioritize our actions with more agility. We will continue to empower global leadership to take ownership of key performance indicators by providing access to tools and metrics. |
The Ethics & Compliance Department will continue the evolution of our compliance partner networks to drive a culture of compliance, speaking up, and doing business the right way. Additionally, we will continue our collaboration and coordination with the 3M Health Care Compliance Team. |
The Ethics & Compliance Department will optimize opportunities to continually improve our program and platforms, engaging with employees through new and different modalities. We will continue to equip employees with guidance, information, and tools to do business the right way and manage third-party risk through integr... |
