Stanley Black and Decker reportedly steeped in DEI, ESG and more, provides ‘training’ for employees

September 6, 2024 | | Print Article

A top manufacturer of industrial tools and household hardware has been accused of going “woke” and embracing DEI and other assorted nonsense.

The accusations against Connecticut-based Stanley Black and Decker come from Consumers’ Research, a 95-year-old advocacy group for consumers.

The company, which boasts brands such as DeWalt, Black and Decker, and Stanley, has been pushing cultural values that “have nothing to do with ensuring consumer satisfaction,” according to Consumers’ Research Director Will Hild.

The company’s “sole priority should be providing their customer base, professionals and DIYers alike, with the best tools and equipment possible,” he told the Daily Mail. “Companies need to focus on serving their customers, not woke politicians.”

A report from Consumers’ Research notes that Stanley Black and Decker has specifically been “prioritizing race-based hiring, DEI goals, and ESG policies, all while leaving their customers in the dust.”

The company has gone in especially hard on “equity,” the sick idea that certain people should be discriminated against to make up for the discrimination that other people faced long ago.

For instance, proponents of equity support affirmative action, a policy that calls for discriminating against white and Asian college applicants in favor of black and Hispanic applicants.

“Stanley Black & Decker’s DEI ‘racial equity roadmap’ includes plans to ‘require equity training for leaders,’ support ‘racial equity causes,’ donate at least $10.5 million by 2025 to ‘racial equity related organizations,’ and increase business with suppliers based on their race to at least 10% by 2025,” the report from C.R. continues.

But it gets worse.

“Our unwavering focus on DEI guides our strategies and actions which is why we count DEI among our foundational commitments,” the company’s chief diversity officer, Joe Simms, previously said.

It’s clear, the report from Consumers’ Research notes, that “woke policies like DEI, and net-zero climate goals are all deemed more important to the company than customer satisfaction.”

And that’s a big, big, big problem.

Stanley Black and Decker’s “woke” bonafides are further confirmed by the 100 percent rating it enjoys from the radicalized, scandal-plagued Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Corporate Equality Index.

“The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is the nation’s largest LGBT-interest activist organization and a prominent force in left-of-center politics,” according to Influence Watch.

“Together with the affiliated Human Rights Campaign Foundation charitable arm and super PAC, HRC has built relationships with powerful mostly Democratic Party politicians and major corporations, and has taken a leading role in Democratic Party politics and left-leaning activism.”

According to HRC’s page on Stanley Black and Decker, the company has also gone fully in on LGBT nonsense. The page notes, for instance, that Stanley “[p]rovides four LGBTQ+ internal training elements (including intersectionality training).”

The company also “[p]rovides Gender Transition Guidelines and at least one additional transgender-inclusive policy or practice for its employees.”

Stanley Black and Decker also reportedly paid lobbyists to promote the Democrats’ Orwellian Equality Act, which, as previously reported, would allow men who purport to be “transgender women” to compete against and shower alongside biological women.

The company is also evidently anti-oil/gas.

“President & CEO Donald Allan, Jr. actually brags that he’s been a ‘champion’ of divesting from America’s oil and gas businesses, contributing to higher prices that you pay for energy,” the report from Consumers’ Research notes.
