A Foundation of Service

At the core of Convergint’s thriving culture of service is our annual Convergint Social Responsibility Day. Since 2002, on the first Friday in June, Convergint closes for a full, paid workday so that colleagues may go out to serve in their communities through various service projects.

Following our Unite conference, this year’s CSRD theme is “A Foundation of Service” This theme refers to the importance of giving back as one of Convergint’s founding Values and Beliefs. Convergint’s ongoing dedication to service is foundational for us and helps drive the company’s success.

The global impact of giving back

At Convergint, our greatest strength is our people. Convergint colleagues made a substantial impact in the communities served for Social Responsibility Day 2023. This year, over 9,200 Convergint colleagues—in addition to family members and employees from partner organizations—volunteered at 200+ organizations in communities across the globe. The overall effort resulted in an estimated donation of more than $3MM in labor and equipment from Convergint colleagues, partners, and families around the world.

Our commitment to service

Convergint’s guiding Values and Beliefs have evolved since CSRD first started in 2002, but they continue to guide our culture of service to customers, colleagues, and communities. Each colleague is encouraged to live by these Values and Beliefs at work, at home, and in our communities. The goal of Social Responsibility Day this year was to highlight the significance of giving back, reflecting Convergint’s core Values and Beliefs.
