3M

Greetings from COP 29 in Baku, Azerbaijan! The energy here is high and the conversations are inspiring. There’s much more to be done and the technologies are advancing rapidly. Organizations like S&P Global , Citi , International Monetary Fund , and Columbia University are advancing progress in meaningful sustainable finance solutions. Azerbaijani leadership is developing new, hydrogen-based ways to decarbonize industry and create new business growth by leveraging their existing land, distribution footprint, and workers. Much progress is underway with many opportunities for a global materials science company like 3M. Thanks to International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). United Nations, United Nations Global Compact, COP29 Azerbaijan , UNFCCC UN , UN Global Compact Network USA , Jeffrey Sachs, Ivana Jemelkova, Bridget Fawcett, Chris Perceval , Haydee Nunez, Mark Libby, David Roth , Maxime Bureau , Raya Makawi and others for sharing your excellent insights and contributions. #sustainability #COP29 #Science #Collaboration #Urgency #3M

Give these young innovators a big 👏 for helping to create a better future! #YoungScientist

🥁 Congratulations to the 2024 3M #YoungScientist Challenge winner, Sirish Subash! 🏆🎉 He developed an AI-based handheld detector for pesticide residue on produce. https://s.3m.com/r3c6cmof We're very proud of Sirish and all the finalists who brought their innovative ideas to life with their boundless curiosity and passion for science! 👏 You continue to wow us! #STEM Discovery Education

🎥 Join us live on October 15 as the 2024 3M Young Scientist Challenge finalists give their final presentations, and find out this year's America's Top Young Scientist later in the evening! Discovery Education This year's final presentations will be even more exciting with Maynard Okereke, the honorary judge for last year's challenge and also our ambassador for the 3M #YoungScientist Challenge, co-hosting the final presentations!

Day 4 at #ClimateWeekNYC has been a reminder that #sustainability #innovations can represent substantial business opportunities and even build a new #DecarbonizationEconomy. With trillions of dollars being invested in climate-related R&D and #materials as essential enablers, this week confirmed that 3M is well-positioned to partner with customers, governments, and community leaders to make a positive impact — through innovating new products and business models. 3M has reduced our Scope 1 & 2 emissions by > 80% since 2002 and > 40% since 2019. We further expect to deliver early on our commitment to reduce 50% by 2030 on our way towards an 80% reduction by 2040. Beyond improving our own operations, we create far bigger impacts when we partner with others — and those opportunities create real business growth. Check out the video to hear more from Nina Panda

Day 2 of #ClimateWeekNYC for me has been all about technologies and especially #AI can help prioritize and accelerate our efforts to fight against sustainability challenges including #ClimateTech at some insightful sessions with World Economic Forum, WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and The Nest Climate Campus Check out the atmosphere and apologies for the background noise as I interview 3M ‘s Bill Weber behind the scenes at The Nest Climate Campus before we both took the stage to talk about #GreenJobs and the recently debuted “Green Works” film.

Day 1 of #ClimateWeekNYC was filled with insightful sessions on #water with the United Nations Water Resilience Coalition (WRC), #NetZeroStandatd development with ISO - International Organization for Standardization and General Motors , and progress on the #SustainableDevelopmentGoals with the UN Global Compact Network USA. It was fun to share the work 3M is doing on carbon footprint reduction, parterning with customers to help them reduce their carbon footprint, and introduce some of our new materials work in #ClimateTech. I’m excited about the intersection between water and AI and struck by how we’re building future improvement expectations and standards for measuring full carbon emissions and #NetPositiveWaterImpact #NPWI. Check out the video for impressions from Garfield A. Bowen on his second Climate Week Thanks to Jason Morrison , Timothy Dekker , Andy Pratt, Sanda Ojiambo , Shana Gallagher, Silvio Dulinsky , Kathi Walker, Richard Pearl, Claudia Herbert Colfer , Ann Tracy , Kristen Siemen Eunice Heath Jennifer Leitsch Shobha Meera David Hackett and others for helping to make it a great day.

Stay tuned for more updates from Gayle Schueller, PhD, Chief Sustainability Officer at 3M, throughout #ClimateWeekNYC!

It all started with curiosity that sparked in him. "...we’ll never run out of ideas in this world. Just keep inventing. Keep thinking of new ways to improve our world and keep making it a better place,” says Heman Bekele, the winner of the 2023 3M #YoungScientist Challenge and now TIME's 2024 Kid of the Year! 🎉 Heman invented Melanoma Treating Soap (MTS), a compound-based bar soap designed to treat skin cancer. All of us at 3M are extremely proud of him and it's moments like this that keep encouraging us to continue to spark curiosity and passion for innovation in the younger generation of scientists! 💡
