Our Approach
Black & Decker encourages its facilities to implement recognized environmental and safety management systems, and to register for recognition.
Policy and Practice
a. ISO 14001
We supported ISO 14001 implementation at several facilities by developing an ISO 14001 implementation guidebook and by providing on-site training and planning support. We currently have ISO registered facilities operating in the United States, Mexico, United Kingdom, Germany, China and Japan.
