Corporate Governance

Of all the pathways to growth, investing in our people is most important.

The premise is very simple - if your people grow, your company will grow. The key: linking growth in individuals to those things that unlock energy and activities that our customers value.

Clearly, 3M's first chairman of the board, William L. McKnight, was a unique leader ... and 3M has had outstanding leaders at all levels of the company ever since.

Leadership development remains at the top of the company's agenda.
