The Electronics and Energy Business Group of 3M Company announces its membership into the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC) – a nonprofit group of the world’s leading electronics companies committed to improving social, ethical and environmental conditions in the global electronics supply chain. Joining the EICC reinforces 3M’s longstanding commitment to the industry and to social responsibility.
“As a 3M business and supplier to the electronics industry, our code of conduct greatly resembles the values of the coalition,” said Jim Bauman, 3M Electronics and Energy Business Group EVP. “It’s clear we’ve been moving in the same direction, so it’s an easy decision to join the coalition and uphold the EICC’s code of conduct in our own operations. Being a coalition member reflects our commitment to serving our customers’ needs.”
3M was named by Ethisphere as a ‘World’s Most Ethical Company’ for three consecutive years, a global recognition of 3M’s dedication to social responsibility and corporate citizenship. 3M Electronics and Energy Business Group intends to bring this same ethical leadership to the EICC.
The EICC is comprised of more than 110 electronics companies, representing 17 different sectors from consumer brands to smelters, directly employing more than 6 million people.
