In 2025, 3M consumed a total of 24.48 million Gigajoules of energy across its operations. Of this total, 23.24% was sourced from renewable energy, either derived from natural resources like biofuels, biomass, or biogas, or generated using renewable technologies such as solar or wind power. The remaining 76.76% was classified as non-renewable energy, coming from fossil-based fuels such as coal, natural gas, or crude oil, or from non-renewable generation technologies like nuclear power.a
In 2025, 3M consumed a total of 24.48 million Gigajoules of energy, of which 23.24% was derived from renewable sources, including biofuels, biomass, biogas, solar, and wind power.a
This low level of renewable energy use highlights a heavy reliance on fossil fuels or other non-renewable sources, suggesting that 3M has considerable room to improve its energy sustainability strategy.
Since 2023, 3M's total energy consumption remained relatively stable, but increased by 1.04% in 2025, which may reflect a short-term uptick in operational activity or energy demand.a
Over the same period, the share of renewable energy in 3M's consumption increased by 9.56%, including a 1.54% increase in 2025, showing consistent progress in clean energy adoption.a
Overall, 3M’s energy trends reveal a complex picture, with variations in total consumption and renewable sourcing. A closer examination of operational drivers and sourcing strategies is needed to fully assess the company’s environmental impact.
