3M, a diversified technology company with a worldwide presence in many product markets, operates manufacturing facilities in 37 countries around the world. This is the fourth time 3M has received ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence recognition. The award honors the company's efforts to expand its energy management program and realize significant energy savings through an array of successful strategies. Key accomplishments include:
In addition, 3M's Optical Systems Division made an important contribution to the development of EPA's new ENERGY STAR specification for televisions. The new specification addresses the energy used while the TV is on and being viewed, in addition to when it is in standby mode. 3M brought vital information and extensive TV expertise to the ENERGY STAR specification process and provided invaluable assistance in the development of a technology neutral, on-mode specification that will save billions of kilowatt hours in the coming years-all while offering U.S. consumers the very best in terms of feature-rich, high-quality TVs.
