3M’s 2022 Global Impact Report highlights the progress we’ve have made toward our goals – as well as the actions we took in 2021 to accelerate our ambitions in environment, social and governance (ESG).
Our actions in sustainability are rooted in our purpose to “Unlock the power of people, ideas and science to reimagine what’s possible” through the actions we take across our Sustainability Framework.
Science for circular: This is the first year we are reporting our progress on recent water and plastic goals and we’ve seen positive movement.
Science for climate: Climate change remains one of our greatest challenges, we continue to focus on driving innovations to help provide climate solutions in our operations, products and communities.
Science for community: In 2021, we continued to take meaningful steps towards a more equitable future and unlocking the power of diversity.
Throughout the rest of 2022, we will continue to bring our Purpose and Promise to life through the actions and progress we make on our goals. Join us on our journey of imagining and delivering a better world for everyone.
