How 3M Defines Diversity, Inclusion and Equity
-
DiversityThe ways people differ from each other physically, socially and psychologically. We appreciate the wide array of perspectives, abilities, experiences and personalities that make each individual unique.
-
InclusionAn environment where individuals feel safe to engage and participate fully because they feel respected, comfortable to express their ideas, and valued for their unique voice and abilities.
-
EquityA guarantee of fair treatment, access, opportunity and advancement we provide for all individuals by advancing systems and processes that counteract social inequities and prevent additional barriers from forming.
We’ve established a goal to double the pipeline of diverse talent in management by 2025 across all countries. We’ve made progress, and we’re committed to doing even more. To date, more than 50 percent of our top 100 leaders are diverse, and 30 percent of our board members are women.
