Supplier Responsibility Code
-
The 3M Supplier Responsibility Code (PDF, 145 KB) (SRC) outlines our basic expectations for suppliers and their subcontractors in the areas of management systems, labor, EHS, and ethics and applies to all suppliers anywhere in the world and for any supplied material or service.
We require our suppliers to read, understand, and implement the requirements of the SRC. The SRC is based on our corporate values including the 3M Code of Conduct and the 3M Human Rights Policy and is aligned with the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct.
Supplier Sustainability Solutions:
-
3M would like our raw material and packaging selections to promote a “Circular Economy.” In a circular economy, companies strive to keep materials “in play” as long as possible (e.g. use recycled materials, develop durable/recyclable products, create novel end-of-use solutions, etc.) and to utilize regenerative/renewable materials. The information provided in this request form will reside in an internal, 3M global repository, hosted in the U.S. and made available to Sourcing personnel, developers and other team members within the company looking to identify circular economy alternatives.
Please access the Sustainability Solutions request to provide your company’s information.
If you have questions, please send an email to Responsible Sourcing @ mmm.com (copy and paste into your email and remove the spaces).
