“Have to Answer the Call”

Ambassador Rufus Gifford

“We have to answer the call. We know what we have to do to avoid irreparable harm. We have to cut carbon pollution in our own countries to prevent the worst effects of climate change. We have to adapt to the impacts that, unfortunately, we can no longer avoid. And we have to work together as a global community to tackle this global threat before it is too late.”President Obama, United Nations Headquarters, September 23, 2014

The President’s Climate Action Plan

Ambassador Rufus Gifford

STRONGER FUEL ECONOMY STANDARDSThe Obama Administration set the highest fuel economy standards in American history that will double the efficiency of American cars and trucks by 2025.

INCREASING CLEAN ENERGYSince President Obama took office, the U.S. increased solar generation by more than ten-fold and tripled electricity production from wind power.

DECREASED CARBON POLLUTIONIn 2012, U.S. greenhouse gas pollution fell to the lowest level in nearly 20 years.

RENEWABLE ENERGY AND EFFICIENCY TARGETS35 states have renewable energy targets in place, and more than 25 have set energy efficiency targets.

Our Vision

© 3M 2014 All rights reserved.

Sustainability as part of 3M’s Vision

“3M is uniquely capable of leading the way as the megatrend of sustainability evolves. It is a platform that can grow our business and is in perfect harmony with our values.”

Inge ThulinChairman, President & CEO

3M Company(Quote from an interview held in March 2012)

How can we advance our customers through sustainable technologies?

How can we enhance homes with green products?How can our innovation in sustainability improve

lives?”

© 3M 2014 All rights reserved.

Sustaining our future, responsibly

Social Responsibility

People are our first priority – within the company and in the communities in which we work.

“Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without

compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.“

(U.N. World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)

Economic Success

We do business in an ethical way and in a way that allows us to grow and do more as a company.

Protecting & Preserving the Environment

We develop products with minimal environmental impact throughout their entire life cycles, and we reduce emissions and resource consumption right at the source.

© 3M 2014 All rights reserved.

3M and sustainability

“Our vision, our values and the megatrends impacting the environment and society in general mean that embracing sustainability in all its aspects is not a choice for 3M.

3M is investing in the resources to enable us to both put our own house in order but also to help our customers and society in general to make the right choices for a more sustainable world.

And West Europe is leading the way. The region is the most developed in terms of leadership from government as well as in the choices made by businesses and by the public. So we must reflect that in our business strategies and models, meaning engagement throughout the company “

Inge Thulin, Chairman, President & CEO, 3M Company

The 3P programme

• The 3P programme dates back to 1975 and combines environmental responsibility with economic success:

3P = Pollution Prevention Pays• Preventing sources of pollution instead of

removing them afterwards – saves resources and costs.

• Projects are initiated by employees.

3P accomplishments from 1975 to 2013:> 10,000 3P projects worldwide~ 2 million tons of pollutants were eliminated =

savings of $1.8 billion (first-year savings only)

3M’s Thermal Bonding Films and Plastics Bonding Adhesives make it easier to recycle mobile devices.

They simplify rework and recycling and help manufacturers fix damaged parts and salvage key components. Components are easily sorted into proper work streams for recycling and reuse.

It’s time to make electronic devices more recyclable

Raw Materials

Take tequila, made using agave

Since only the juice is used, often the rest of the plant is left to decompose in fields

3Mers partnered to create scrubbing fibers made of 50 percent agave

These fibers are the scouring muscle of a plant-based fiber sponge that uses 23 percent recycled material

Cleaning supplies can make the whole world cleaner, not just the home

To use water resources with greater efficiency and safety, companies need solutions to protect water quality and reduce losses from water main deterioration, breaks and leaks.

3M™ Scotchkote™ water pipe coatings and linings help rehabilitate aging potable water infrastructure while protecting new infrastructure.

Smaller footprint, greater power

In collaboration with Intel and SGI, 3M developed a revolutionary two-phase immersion cooling technology which is now being used as a proof-of-concept in a fully functional supercomputer.

This technology using 3M™ Novec™ Engineered Fluids can reduce cooling energy costs by 95 percent and reduces water consumption by eliminating municipal water usage for evaporative cooling.

Making hospital patients a bit more comfortable

Research shows that core body temperature drops rapidly following the induction of general anesthesia, which puts patients at an increased risk for unintended hypothermia.

3M™ patient warming units are revolutionary forced-air warming systems that help to prevent and treathypothermia while enhancing patient comfort.

Business Leadership and Action

“IT’S GREAT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT,

AND BY THE WAY, IT’S ALSO GOOD FOR ECONOMICS”.— Tim Cook, Apple

Corporates are scaling Renewable Energy

By 2020, 100 of the world’s largest companies will have committed to 100% renewable power.

SolarCity – new Solar Bond for the individual investor

• SolarCity, is the #1 solar installer in the US

• Innovative new product to raise capital

• Denominations of US $1,000i

• Bond buyers as future customers and ambassadors for solar $200 million

We Mean Business

An unprecedented collaboration between business facing NGOS working with the world’s most influential

companies to drive climate action

Tesla – partnering with Panasonic on $5 Billion battery Gigafactory

Achieving Scale

But can bottom-up solutions achieve the large-scale impacts that are needed?

Global emissions are accelerating in the wrong direction

We are rapidly spending 2 degree carbon budget
