Abstract

Gayle Schueller from 3M discusses their global survey, conducted across 13 countries with 13,000 participants, to gauge public perceptions of science. She notes the pandemic’s impact on views about science and highlights regional differences in scientific confidence. Schueller emphasizes the importance of addressing climate change and biodiversity alongside business development, advocating for corporate responsibility and collaboration to scale innovative solutions. She details 3M’s commitment to sustainability, including a $1 billion investment over 20 years, carbon neutrality goals by 2050, and reducing water usage and virgin plastic dependence. Schueller also explains 3M’s strategic sustainability framework, which includes pillars like Science for Climate, Science for Circular, and Science for Community, and discusses the company’s approach to integrating scientific advancements and fostering community engagement through initiatives like 3M Impact and STEM education programs. She stresses the necessity of collaboration between companies, NGOs, and governments to address global challenges effectively.
