All customers that have a commitment to a clean and safe facility can participate - Healthcare, Education, Retail, Commercial, Restaurants, Entertainment, and other customers with physical locations that require cleaning.
The minimum requirement that a customer must meet in order to qualify as a participant in the program is twofold: 1) purchase of our cleaners & disinfectants and 2) completing the specified training courses on 3M™ Academy. Once the customer has met these requirements, the customer has access to the 3M Clean & Protect Badge.
This is a great way for companies to showcase to stakeholders their strong commitment to a clean and safe environment.

No, if the customer partners with 3M, and meets the minimum qualifications, they can get the physical badges and digital badges for free.
