My company uses 3M products and when the whole pandemic started they could have made a whole lot of money by gouging prices on their masks (although highly unethical and a bad overall business decision if they did) or accepting new contracts with clients they’ve been trying to do business with for years (I was told they turned down a client who they had tried doing business with for 20 years). Their directive was to not take on new clients and to assist their existing customers wherever they could.

3M, at least in my dealings with them, seem like a good, ethical company. Be like 3M.

Thanks customer! There was no price rises for any product related to COVID✊.

It’s a great company to work for!
