MAKING A DAILY DIFFERENCE
Convergint Technologies was built on a solid foundation of Values and Beliefs. These values and beliefs focus on Convergint’s commitment to our customers, our colleagues and their families, and our communities. One of these values—“we believe in balanced lives”—supports our belief that it is important for all of us to balance our time, energy, and commitments across our families, our business, and our communities. This belief empowers us to act generously and responsibly to the people and world around us.
We have created a culture of giving here at Convergint, a culture that we believe is central to our success as an organization. Not only do we give to our local communities all throughout the year, but we also take it to the next level with our yearly Convergint Social Responsibility Day. Each year in June, Convergint shuts down operations for a full work day in order to allow our colleagues to go into their communities and contribute to those in need.
2018 Convergint Day Impact
Convergint’s STEP Up for Schools Initiative
The safety of our country’s children when heading off to school each morning is of deep concern to our colleagues at Convergint. Enhancing school security can provide a vital level of protection for students, faculty, and visitors. In that spirit, we have created our STEP Up initiative to help strengthen security in our schools. To do so, we are providing free security services to schools in need and educational resources available for download online.
ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY
Convergint is dedicated to developing a company culture where leadership and individual colleagues are committed to “making responsible decisions“ to ensure the health and safety of our colleagues, customers, business associates, and the communities in which we operate.

SUPPLIER DIVERSITY
Convergint Technologies is committed to diversity with the suppliers we conduct business with and have experienced the benefit of working with locally-owned businesses in the communities in which we operate. From Convergint’s perspective, it’s a win all the way around – for your business, for our business, and for every community of which we are a part.
We also understand how difficult it can be for a small business, with good people and service cultures, to make connections within larger organizations. Convergint’s Supplier Diversity Program was designed to make it easier for you to make contact with the right people within any of our North American office locations.

Meet above-average quality standards
Demonstrate excellence in customer service
Offer competitive pricing on your goods and/or services
