What is Stanley Black & Decker’s Environment, Social & Governance (ESG) strategy?

Stanley Black & Decker’s purpose – For Those Who Make the World – helped launch an ESG strategy that tied the company’s purpose with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. While the company has always had a deep commitment to corporate social responsibility, the ESG strategy, born in 2017, was reflective of the company’s broader ambition to help create a more sustainable world.
The strategy focuses the company's efforts on three key pillars: empowering makers, innovating with purpose and creating a more sustainable world. By 2030, Stanley Black & Decker plans to enable 10 million creators and makers to thrive in a changing world, innovate our products to enhance the lives of 500 million people, and be carbon positive in its global operations, meaning its carbon capture is greater than its carbon emissions.
