3M's Environmental, Health and Safety Management System

3M's Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Management System promotes sound environmental, health and safety management at our facilities worldwide. It helps us address changing customer needs and expectations as we continue to drive sustainable growth. The EHS Management System:


  • Builds on the strengths of our previous environmental, health and safety achievements.
  • Includes an integrated, holistic system that anticipates and addresses long-term issues and drives continuous improvement.
  • Requires each business unit to identity EHS issues, develop formal prioritized action plans, set goals and measure results.
  • Promotes a strategic planning process that integrates EHS issue resolution into business unit strategic plans.
  • Requires a Life Cycle Management review of all new products and of existing products on a prioritized basis.

As a result of good planning and priority setting, resources can be efficiently allocated to maximize EHS improvement.
