Eighty-seven percent of the world believes we need science to solve the world’s greatest challenges. The Improving Lives campaign showcases the many ways that 3M scientists collaborate to solve the toughest problems – so that workers can breathe easier, cars and homes are made smarter, more efficient and safer, and a child can experience the power of a handwritten Post-it® Note on her lunchbox.

“With creativity and a shared purpose, no problem is unsolvable,” said Michael Stroik, director for 3Mgives, which aims to improve lives through social investment and engagement. “3M employees around the globe use their skills, know-how and energy to strengthen the communities where we live and work every day.
