Introduction
Stanley Black & Decker is actively committed to eradicating human trafficking and slavery from its supply chain.  The Company does not and will not permit its employee employees or agents to engage in any form of trafficking in persons, and will take appropriate action, up to and including termination, against employees, agents or subcontractors that violate this policy. Employees, subcontractors and agents who become aware of a potential violation of this policy are expected to report the potential violation to the Company’s Senior Vice President for Human Resources.
Organisational structure and activities

The U.K. Companies provide these products and services within the U.K.
Supply chain and activities
Stanley Black & Decker has an extensive network of suppliers of raw materials, component parts and finished goods around the world and is actively committed to eradicating human trafficking and slavery from its supply chain. Supplier compliance is ensured by annual supplier self-assessments, additionally supported by on-site audits and requalification audits. The self-assessment requires Stanley Black & Decker suppliers to acknowledge and comply with  the terms of the Stanley Black & Decker Supplier Code of Conduct; these terms address amongst other things, Employment Conditions, such as child labour, forced labour and prison labour etc. (the Supplier Code of Conduct can be found on page 6 of our updated Supplier Handbook ). The audits are conducted personally by Stanley Black & Decker auditing teams and include confidential employee interviews of individuals selected by Stanley Black & Decker. The audits are announced to the suppliers only with as much lead time as minimally necessary to ensure that all required documentation is available to the auditing team. These on-site audits include verification of time and pay records. Suppliers are rated for compliance with Stanley Black & Decker practices and standards. Deficiencies found during supplier audits can result in graduated penalties, ranging from requirements for corrective action plans and follow up audits to termination of the business relationship.
Due Diligence
The U.K. Companies have determined that their main exposure to modern slavery may be identified within their supply chains and have measured this risk over several years through proactive steps whereby new third party vendors, suppliers and business partners are subject to due diligence checks founded upon compliance audits and ethical policies of how Stanley Black & Decker conducts business as a global organisation. Such assessments and audits are carried out globally.
Policies
Stanley Black & Decker’s commitment to human rights is reflected in its Business Conduct Guidelines, which are posted on the Company websites and are distributed annually to all of the Company employees worldwide.  As set forth in the Guidelines: The Company is strongly committed to full compliance with human rights and labour standards.

The Company's managers and the Company’s direct and indirect vendors have the obligation to provide for factory inspections, to be vigilant, and to take immediate action to prevent any unfair employment practices.
