At 3M, the corporate social responsibility framework is embedded in the company culture, as seen through their company value statements and the ownership of corporate social responsibility issues by various 3M functions – be it environmental, health and safety management, community affairs, human resources, or the many business and quality functions that market the company’s many products into society. Employee engagement and awareness around sustainability, encouraging partnerships within the 3M community of employees and retirees, communicating to the public about 3M’s progress, and advancing employee health and safety are some of the many ways in which 3M puts corporate social responsibility into action.
