Producing N95 Masks During the Pandemic

Leadership Next - A podcast by Fortune - Tuesdays

Categories:

One year ago we were just beginning to feel the impact of COVID-19 here in the U.S. And our efforts to fight the virus were in early innings.  But it was already clear to 3M's Mike Roman that the coronavirus was a force to be reckoned with. 3M is the company behind N95 respirators. Demand for the product took off early last year, and has remained incredibly high ever since.. Today on Leadership Next, Roman tells Alan Murray and Ellen McGirt what the early days of the pandemic were like for the company and how his employees worked to meet increased demand. He shares 3M's response to the killing of George Floyd, the company's newest sustainability efforts, and his approach to stakeholder capitalism. Also in today's episode, Deloitte's Joe Ucuzoglu details findings from a recent Fortune/Deloitte survey of big company CEOs, highlighting their thoughts on returning to offices, resuming business travel, and more.
