Supplied materials are used in products serving numerous industry sectors. 3M is typically many tiers removed from smelters or refiners (&#8220;SORs&#8221;) that would have information on mines supplying 3TG. Moreover, to the extent 3TG are present in 3M products, the content may be at trace levels. Supply chains have improved their capacity to obtain and transmit SOR identities, which reflects in part the value of the Responsible Minerals Initiative (&#8220;RMI&#8221;) and other cross-industry efforts. Nonetheless, obtaining information regarding smelters, refiners and mine locations remains challenging. Challenges include delayed supplier responses, incomplete or inconsistent data, and, in some cases, the need for extensive supplier follow-up.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font><br></font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">3M&#8217;s</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:-0.02em;line-height:120%"> </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Participation</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:-0.01em;line-height:120%"> </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">in</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:-0.01em;line-height:120%"> </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Cross-Industry</font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:-0.01em;line-height:120%"> </font><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Efforts&#58; 3M has contributed to industry efforts to address Conflict Minerals through serving as a member of the Responsible Business Alliance (&#8220;RBA&#8221;) and RMI.
