Non-3M Workforce Working Outside U.S.

If you are assigning a non-3M worker or are an independent worker, outside the U.S., the following requirements apply.

Pre-Assignment Requirements Working Outside the U.S.

Non-3M workers must meet various requirements to be eligible for assignment at 3M. Suppliers of non-3M workers will assign to 3M only those non-3M workers who have met the assignment eligibility requirements. All requirements must be complete prior to the first day of assignment.

On-Going Assignment Requirements Working Outside the U.S.

Non-3M workers must meet various requirements to continue assignment at 3M.

Seller Personnel Agreement Working Outside the U.S.

Non-3M workers are required to protect 3M's confidential and proprietary information and must be subject to an agreement containing confidentiality provisions. The Seller Personnel Agreement is preferred for most non-3M workers who are assigned through a supplier. Given the diversity of agreements that already exist between suppliers, non-3M workers, and 3M, it may be possible that the worker's confidentiality agreement obligation is addressed through another agreement already in place with 3M that includes confidentiality obligations. These agreements may include: a supplier agreement, a confidential disclosure agreement, or equivalent. Suppliers assigning non-3M workers, and independent workers, are responsible to ensure that an appropriate agreement is in place. Contact 3M Sourcing Operations for more information.
