Our products.
Embedding a Sustainability Value Commitment in all business groups.
Our commitment 3M Science drives our business forward. We use and combine our technologies in unique ways across the company, creating new products and new lines of business across our four business groups.
Starting in 2019, 100% of our products entering the new product commercialization process must describe their Sustainability Value Commitment (SVC), demonstrating how they drive impact for the greater good. This formal requirement is significant because it embeds sustainability into the pipeline that produces 3M’s diverse global products.
Examples of considerations in developing SVCs for new 3M products include recyclability, energy and water savings, responsible sourcing, renewable materials, and the appropriate reuse of a product. Also included are products whose core purpose is helping to solve an environmental and/or social concern. Examples include improving air quality, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing worker safety in industrial settings.
3M’s product requirement has a global impact on our operations in 70 countries where we operate and on the products we sell in nearly every country. It will also help our customers reach their own sustainability goals.
It’s another important step forward in our ambition to apply science to improve every life — through our Strategic Sustainability Framework and through each of our four business groups.
For more information on our SVC, see the Innovation management section and our feature story Making strides embedding sustainability into new products. Our actions.
