Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility at Stanley Black & Decker

At Stanley Black & Decker, we put a good deal of
thought into who we serve and, as we grow, into the
kind of business we want to be around the world.
First and foremost, we are here to be a successful, sustainable business. This means
delivering value every day to our shareholders, customers, tradespeople and other
professionals, consumers, our employees and business partners, while at the same
time renewing our commitment to the communities we call home and the larger global
community. Social responsibility is extremely important to me, our board, my senior
team, and our 50,000+ employees around the world. Accordingly, it represents an
integral part of our ongoing corporate agenda.
We see a great and growing need for responsible businesses on the global stage, and
we intend to be a leader in this respect.
In recent years, we have focused our efforts on sustainability—on becoming
ECOSMART™ across our global enterprise. But we realize this crucially important work
is just the first step of a larger effort before us.
Our sense of purpose at Stanley Black & Decker is inextricably tied to a greater good.
We create products, tools and solutions for the people who build, connect and protect
the world.
We are for those who make the world.
This purpose gives us the capacity, and the passion, to be a uniquely human-centered
industrial company. It provides us the direction to focus our future social responsibility
efforts where they can have the most impact. This is a responsibility that all of us take
to heart.

Community Impact and Philanthropy

Since 1843, Stanley Black & Decker has been committed to the communities where we work and live. We proudly carry that legacy forward today, in many locations around the world. We empower our employees to be makers in their own communities, helping to build homes and rebuild after natural disasters. We donate tools and sustain tool-lending programs to respond to emergencies. And we provide volunteer opportunities for our employees to give back to the organizations that matter most to them.
