Acting with Integrity: Always and in All Ways
For over 180 years, Stanley Black & Decker has been known not just for what we make, but for how we operate. At the heart of our success is a fundamental commitment: We do the right thing the right way, even when no one is watching. That is why integrity is one of our key values.
The SBD Way — our Code of Business Ethics — provides the framework for both what we do and how we do it. While no guide can address every situation, these principles help ensure we act with integrity in all our decisions and actions.
In today’s complex business environment, we face new challenges daily. Mistakes may happen, but how we handle them is what defines us. If you see something that violates The SBD Way, our values or the law — speak up. Your voice matters in protecting our business, our customers and each other.
Every employee worldwide — from Makers to our Corporate office — is expected to live The SBD Way. Leaders have the additional responsibility of setting the right example and shaping our culture of integrity. It is how we have built our legacy, and how we will secure our future.
Thank you for your commitment to conducting business The SBD Way and helping to ensure that our proud history and commitment to ethical conduct endures.
