Direct Relief is providing critical, highly requested aid as Southern California grapples with one of the most devastating wildfire events in Los Angeles County’s history. Through local community health clinics including Venice Family Clinic, and local evacuation shelters, Direct Relief has distributed thousands of 3M N95 respirators to those impacted by wildfire smoke, and has provided medications, basic hygiene products from Unilever, and more to those displaced by the fires. Direct Relief also continues to provide requested aid to first responders including emergency medical backpacks, PPE, and re-hydration supplements. This disaster will reshape Los Angeles for years to come, and Direct relief will continue to support those impacted.

Another quick update from COP29 Azerbaijan , the United Nations Climate Conference in Baku. It’s exciting to see how much progress has been made advancing technical capabilities, global scale and driving down costs for solar and wind energy, energy storage, electric vehicles, sustainable finance, and more. Hydrogen continues as an important theme for the conference. And as always, it’s been fun and productive to connect with colleagues and explore potential collaborative efforts. Thanks for your contributions and sharing your expertise Christina Shim, Ivana Jemelkova , Amy Chiang , Mary de Wysocki, Ellen Jackowski, Luca Corradi , Alicia Eastman,Maria Misovicova, Gaurav Monga #hydrogen #COP29 #ClimateAction

What happens when you bring over 70 top notch folks together from 40 organizations across multiple sectors - academia, NGO, community, government, & corporate? High engagement. Thought provoking discussions. More than talk — it was collaborative action! Earlier this week we hosted 3M’s 2nd Environmental & Community Resilience Exchange at our Innovation Center in Minnesota. Although the geopolitical landscape continues to change, we can’t stand still, instead we must adapt and continue to move forward together, leveraging our collective capabilities to make our communities more resilient, especially in underserved spaces where we have a presence. Shout out to our fantastic keynote Rebecca Teeters 👏🏽!

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

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
