3M Receives 2017 Catalyst Award, Joins Catalyst CEO Champions For Change

ST. PAUL, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–3M took home the coveted Catalyst Award Wednesday night during a gala
ceremony in New York City. Catalyst, a nonprofit organization
championing the advancement of women in the workplace, recognized the
science-based company for its “I’m in. Accelerating Women’s Leadership”
initiative. 3M’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Inge
Thulin accepted the award.


“Diversity is a competitive weapon for 3M as it spurs new ideas and
fresh perspectives, which powers our creativity,” said Thulin. “From
appointing women to top leadership positions to our new expanded
parental leave benefits, we are creating an even more diverse and
inclusive culture where women and men have an equal opportunity to grow,
succeed and advance in our enterprise.”

While 3M’s initiative focuses on women in the management pipeline and
across the company, it is part of a broader “I’m In.” organizational
approach to engage and develop all 3M people worldwide. This includes,
in part, a formal leadership development program, a global network of 78
women’s leadership chapters, and 3M FlexAbility arrangements support a
flexible workplace culture. In recognition of International Women’s Day
on March 8, 3M’s Women’s Leadership Forum hosted a series of leadership
and networking events throughout the day to motivate and develop all
3Mers.

As part of 3M’s commitment to build its diverse and inclusive work
culture, Mr. Thulin signed on to Catalyst’s new CEO Champions For Change
initiative, announced March 8. Thulin, along with more than 40 CEOs and
industry leaders have made personal pledges to accelerate gender
equality and inclusion in their organizations. Progress will be tracked,
analyzed and reported to inspire more companies to make similar
commitments.
