 Stanley Black & Decker 2014 Annual Report
Stanley Black & Decker is advancing global stewardship principles across our entire
value chain. In 2014 we publicly shared our commitment to be economically,
environmentally and socially responsible in everything that we do by unveiling ECOSMART—
our company’s name for sustainability. ECOSMART emphasizes our commitment to a
sustainable future and aligns with our Stanley Fulfillment System, ensuring that our
products with sustainable attributes maximize their business attributes, too.
In 2014, for the fourth consecutive year, we were listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability
North American Index, the last two years in the IEQ Machinery and Electrical Equipment
category, in recognition of our economic, environmental and social performance.
We also achieved the highest attainable score on both the CDP Climate Disclosure
Leadership Index and the CDP Climate Performance Leadership Index, acknowledging
our ability to measure, verify, manage and reduce our energy demand and resultant
carbon footprint. As we go forward, it is our aspiration to secure recognition from the
Dow Jones Sustainability Index on a global level.
As we build on our commitment to sustainability, we have continued with a smaller page
count for this year’s Annual Report, a tradition we started in 2009. We have also transitioned
to “Notice and Access” which has allowed us to reduce our print run significantly.
