We aim to be bold and agile, yet thoughtful and disciplined. Knowing that each of us influences our company’s success, we aspire to make a positive difference in the world – and our Code of Business Ethics is a guide.
We model our behavior against the highest standards. We are all accountable for maintaining our reputation and ensuring a healthy, positive and ethical organizational culture.
This Code reinforces the values and principles of the organization, and our policies provide more specific guidance on the proper way to comply with our standards and to complete many of our tasks. We must know, understand and follow this Code and our polices, with no exceptions.
This Code applies to all of us – employees, officers, directors, contractors, vendors and suppliers. Our managers and our board members annually acknowledge their understanding of this Code and its tenets. Our reputation, culture and values are important to our success; any violations of the Code, or the law, will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Referencing this Code and our policies can often prevent or resolve issues where we may be uncertain. Any lingering concerns or potential violations should be reported to your supervisor, an appropriate Internal Resource identified at the end of this Code, or through integrity.sbdinc.com as outlined at the end of this Code.
Stanley Black & Decker will investigate reports of violations of this Code or corresponding policies, and we strictly prohibit retaliation against anyone who reports a concern in good faith.
