But people don’t buy technology,

they buy products

The challenge for us isturning technology into “Got to have it” products

Harnessing the chain reaction of new ideas, to make progress possible

3M’s First Customer Inspired Innovation…

Two-tone cars were in demand…

But a clean paint line was very hard to achieve…

Which 3Mer Dick Drew observedwhile visiting to sell sandpaper…

and he remembered some stuff he’d seen in the laboratory…

10

…Masking Tape

…And the respirator…And the paint dispenser


11

The Bar is Always Being Raised…

Does it stick?

Does it come off cleanly?

Does it handle well?

Can it survive temperature extremes?

Is it “greener”?

Greener: A NewRequirement

Dr. Joe Ling; The Father of Pollution Prevention

“Pollution is … unused raw material. By reducing the

amount of pollution, … [3M can] save money both on

pollution control and on raw materials the next time around. It's a win-win

situation.”Dr. Ling launched 3M’s Pollution Prevention Pays program in 1975


15


Pollution Prevention Pays (3P)3M’s History and Future

� 3M’s 3P program served as the foundation for governmental environmental policies/programs across the globe

� Environmental benefits can occur within 3M or for our customers & suppliers.

� Today 3P is a fundamental 3M philosophy

3M’s 3P Results(aggregate first year savings)

�Over 3 billion pounds of pollution prevented

�Over $1.4 Billion saved

16

3P at Work3M™ Neutral Cleaner Concentrate Reformulation

Product Life Cycle Management3M’s Pathway to Product Sustainability

� 3M’s Life Cycle Management (LCM) process ensures our products address environmental, health and safety opportunities and risksthroughout their life cycle

� from materials acquisition anddevelopment

� through manufacturing and distribution

� to customer use and disposal/recycle

� LCM is a component of 3M’s formal New Product Introduction Process

� bringing environmental, health, safety, and energy considerations into each stage of product development


19


Life Cycle Management at WorkNovec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid

� Next-generation halon alternative

� Superior performance in extinguishing efficiency, safety, and global warming impact

� Zero ozone depletion potential

� 5-day atmospheric lifetime

� A global warming potential of 1

(compared to alternative with

GWPs of 1300-12,000)

3M™ Novec™ 1230 has prevented more lbs of

C02 equivalent emissions for our

customers than 3M emitted in 2010
