摘要
3M initiated its ''Pollution Prevention Pays'' (3P) program in 1975 and is probably the U.S. corporation which has been most identified with using preventive strategies to reduce toxic releases. This case study draws on interviews conducted with representatives of 3M manufacturing plants and corporate staff to provide both an overview of 3M's pollution prevention efforts and explore the organizational dimensions of two types of pollution prevention projects. The analysis addresses two key questions: (1) what do 3M's accomplishments indicate about the potential for pollution prevention approaches? and (2) what are the organizational incentives, resources and strategies which underpin 3M's pollution prevention efforts?
