How to Use These Policies

3M’s Business Conduct Policies apply to employees and others acting on 3M’s behalf around the world. As global policies, they apply to all locations and situations where 3M business is conducted and to all company-sponsored events. These policies contain the information you need to understand your business conduct responsibilities at work. Of course, additional policies apply to various 3M business operations, and you need to know and follow those other policies that apply to your 3M work, as well. Most policies are presented in a format featuring (1) a policy statement, (2) an explanation of what the policy means, and (3) examples of situations to avoid in order to maintain compliance with the policy. This website also includes details on where to go to ask questions and how to raise a concern about a Business Conduct Policy.

NOTE: By establishing and communicating these 3M Business Conduct Policies, 3M does not intend to create enforceable contractual rights for the benefit of any person or entity.
