Cleaner air, less waste and a brighter future…for everybody. Our commitment to environmental sustainability remains core to how we operate, particularly with regard to climate, waste and water.

 

Climate change remains the defining issue of our time. That’s why we’ve made sustainability a fundamental part of our culture, as demonstrated through our alignment with the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. 

Across our entire global enterprise, we’re making clear progress on reducing our overall operational environmental footprint, including energy consumption (Scope 1 and Scope 2), water stewardship and waste generation and landfilling.

2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

All large companies, including Stanley Black & Decker, have a key role to play in accelerating the ambitious actions needed to secure a future where people and the planet can thrive by upholding the U.N. Global Compact 10 Principles and advancing the SDGs. We’re working actively toward cleaner water, minimizing waste generation and landfilling and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions to lessen climate risk and find climate opportunities.
