Convergint celebrates 23rd annual Social Responsibility Day

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. — On June 7, 2024, Convergint celebrated its 23rd Annual Convergint Social Responsibility Day, giving nearly 10,000 colleagues across 220 global locations the opportunity to spend the workday giving back to their local communities.

Convergint praised its workers saying that this year’s efforts have resulted in a total payroll donation of more than $3 million and more than $500,000 in labor and equipment donations from the company’s colleagues, partners, and families. Additionally, Convergint said that 400 of its colleagues and partners will help complete the company’s largest STEP Up project to-date for the Douglas County School District in Castle Rock, Colorado.

In 2018, Convergint established its STEP Up for Schools Initiative to help strengthen school security. Through the program, Convergint provides free interior and exterior security system installations (including cybersecurity and fire systems), upgrades, and assessments to underserved schools all over the world. This year’s donation to the Douglas Country School District includes upgrades to a district property’s intrusion detection, mass notification, and surveillance systems.

Additional STEP Up projects this year will take place in Atlanta, GA, Tualatin, OR, Cleveland, TX, Seattle, WA, Boise, ID, and Bangalore, India.

“Convergint Social Responsibility Day allows our colleagues, families, and partners to demonstrate the power of our Values and Beliefs within their own neighborhoods. We’re proud that this effort has continued to grow every year and in fact, has spread across the entire security industry,” said Ann Fandozzi, CEO, Convergint. “This year’s STEP Up project for the Douglas County School District is our largest yet – and we hope to help as many schools as possible through this program. We encourage any school in need of a security upgrade to contact us directly.”
