Passion is Palpable In his closing comments to shareholders in 2010, CEO Lundgren paid tribute to the company's employees, view- ing them as the company's #1 asset. Without their skill and dedication, Stanley's extraordinary performance would not be possible. "The most important part of our success derives from our people, whose passion for this Company, its customers and its future is palpable," said Lundgren. Stanley focuses on the continuous develop- ment of its people. With a large and ever increasing num- ber of new ventures, products and markets, the needs are great and the opportunities for employees are abundant. Stanley employees are proud of their strong organization and its impressive achievements. Giving Back With the unshakeable belief that supporting the vitality of the communities it serves is critical to its suc- cess as a company, Stanley directly supports causes that are closely aligned to its business operations, and strives to make the world a better place. The company focuses on: affordable housing construction, recon- struction, and rehabilitation; technical, vocational, mathematics, science, and engineering education; hos- pitals and select healthcare-related charities; organiza- tions with particularly compelling impact in areas where Stanley Black & Decker maintains a significant population of employees. The company is a major supporter of Habitat for Humanity nationally and in the Hartford area, in par- ticular. The company has partnered with Rebuilding Together New Britain, an organization dedicated to providing home repair and improvement services free of charge to low-income homeowners in need. Stanley employees are actively involved with these efforts, and Stanley also encourages employee giving with a 100% matching gifts program. The future looks bright for Stanley Black & Decker. The company's success is no accident. It is the result of superior leadership, innovation and commitment to excellence honed over more than a hundred years. By staying close to the principles that got Stanley where it is today, this global diversified industrial giant will con- tinue to be the standard bearer for corporate excellence for years to come.
