Our focus from a business perspective is to bring high quality, innovative products and services to our customers.

That same focus also holds true in our approach to the environment. Since 1975, we've sought innovative ways to lessen our impact on the environment- in areas as diverse as products manufacturing processes and recycling programs.

3M has and will continue to recognize and exercise its responsibility to:

	Solve its own environmental pollution and conservation problems.
	Prevent pollution at the source wherever and whenever possible.
	Develop products that will have a minimum effect on the environment.
	Conserve natural resources through the use of reclamation and other appropriate methods.
	Assure that its facilities and products meet and sustain the regulations of all federal, state, and local environmental agencies.
	Assists, wherever possible, government agencies and other official organizations engaged in environmental activities.
