About this episode

James Momon became 3M's first chief equity officer after George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, near 3M's headquarters. He explained how equity differs from equality by recognizing the history behind today's disparities, and described a $50 million social justice fund focused largely on access to STEM careers, including work with St. Paul Public Schools. He backs employee resource groups while insisting on inclusion for everyone, and wants survey, turnover and exit data combined into one coherent story.
