504355 Science with Purpose

Maureen Tholen, 3M, St. Paul, MN

As a company serving a multitude of industries in nearly every country on the planet, we recognize the opportunity we have: to grow our business while solving some of the world’s biggest problems. This requires collaboration with our customers, partners and stakeholders. Sustaining our business, and our planet, means protecting natural resources and empowering individuals and communities throughout the world to encourage progress. We use science to develop products that address challenges facing our customers and our global community, which include enhancing human health, promoting access to clean water, increasing energy efficiency and enabling safe work environments. We will share 3M examples and stories about who we are, how we work and what we create, and show how we use science with purpose every day.
