It was a year in which we made great progress toward inventing a new future for ourselves at 3M, a future of faster growth and increased competitiveness, while continuing to deliver superior returns to our shareholders. We are convinced that higher levels of value creation for our shareholders are driven by higher rates of sales growth, particularly while sustaining the higher levels of ROIC for which 3M is well known.

We create entirely new product categories and breathe new life into markets crying for reinvention. George W.

  • 2011 Annual Report
    2011 Annual Report Inspired Innovation To our shareholders In many ways, 2011 was an amazing year. At times, the year felt like a story from the book of Genesis, with the Japanese earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear issues, the fl ooding in Thailand late in the year, tornadoes in the southern United States, and revolution in North Africa. Matters were further complicated in 2011 by the sovereign debt issue in Greece, worries about Italy’s solvency and the economic downturn in Europe. We must offer special recognition here to our Japanese colleagues for their wonderful efforts in 2011 and to their entire nation for the dignifi ed and orderly way in which they dealt with the tsunami and related challenges. They have my profound personal admiration. Through all of this, while dealing in many cases with enormous personal challenges presented by these disasters, 3M’s people also met the business challenges and once again delivered strong results. George W. Buckley Despite all this turbulence, full-year sales increased 11 percent to Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Offi cer $29.6 billion, with double-digit growth in Industrial and Transportation; Safety, Security and Protection Services; and Health Care. Operating margins were 20.9 percent for the company, and all businesses delivered margins of 20 percent or higher, which is an amazing feat of consistency. Inge G. Thulin named President and Chief Executive Offi cer, 3M Company, Feb. 24, 2012 Inge G. Thulin, 58, was named president and chief executive offi cer of 3M Company effective Feb. 24, 2012.
