Sustainability Specialist, 3M
TOPIC: Workshop 2: Human Capital

A conversation with Tina:
Q:  What is your involvement and experience at 3M in completing the RobecoSAM CSA for the DJSI each year? 
As 3M’s Sustainability Reporting Manager, I have the opportunity to lead a dedicated team of individuals from across the company to advance Sustainability in their organizations, while creating the story that best reflects our commitment to improving Every Life. This then also drives new growth by enhancing supplier, operational, customer engagement, and effective product and brand positioning through 3M’s Sustainability Report and DJSI submittal.
Q:  What can attendees expect to learn from your session on Human Capital?
At 3M, we recognize that growth of our company is directly related to growth of our people, and the people with whom we work and live every day.   During the session, learn about our most valuable resource, our people, how we invest in their success, and how that is reflect in our Sustainability Report and DJSI response.
Q:  What advice do you have or opportunity that you see for attendees who are considering attending the program and looking to improve their RobecoSAM CSA responses, and get on the DJSI? 
The approach to the CSA response is a process just like any other.  At a high-level, three areas come to mind to drive that process forward: top-down culture, integrated purpose driven Sustainability strategy, and engagement of key stakeholders throughout the organization.
