3M Public Policy Issues Evaluation Process


3M’s list of Top 10 public policy priorities helps the 3M Corporate Public Affairs team focus on issues that have the greatest impact on the company. The Top 10 List helps communicate 3M’s perspective and guides its activities in the areas of lobbying, trade association work, political contributions, grassroots communications and advocacy involving employees and retirees, as well as in meetings with federal and state government officials.

The overall objectives of 3M’s Top 10 public policies are to:

  • Make the case for tax reform and lower U.S. corporate tax rates for a more level global playing field.
  • Make the case for reducing the burden and costs of unnecessary U.S. regulations to allow for stronger global competition.
  • Advance legislation that is in the best interest of 3M employees, retirees and the company as a whole.
  • Help 3M businesses sell their products to federal, state and local governments.
