Vivint™,
the largest home automation services company in North America, today
announced that it won a gold Stevie Award in the Corporate
Responsibility of the Year category in the 10th annual
American Business Awards. The American Business Awards are the nation’s
premier business awards program.
Vivint has several charitable campaigns anchored by the highly
successful Vivint Gives Back program. Vivint Gives Back was created in
2008 as a way to alleviate hardship and restore hope for families in
need. The program focuses on involving Vivint employees, who contribute
time, money and talents to various service projects throughout the
communities Vivint serves. In 2011, Vivint Gives Back donated more than
$1.25 million to charities throughout the United States and Canada,
which was supplemented by over 7,500 hours of donated service time by
Vivint employees.
“Service and giving are both deeply engrained into our company culture.
The enthusiasm and support we receive from our employees is incredible,”
said Josh Houser, president of the Vivint Gives Back Foundation. “The
strength and success of our efforts can be entirely attributed to our
incredible staff and their willingness to go above and beyond to take
care of our customers. We are so pleased to win this Stevie Award as a
way to honor all of their hard work.”
Other charitable efforts for Vivint
include collaborating with Habitat for Humanity International,
partnering with Feed My Starving Children to pack more than 106,000
meals to feed hungry children in 70 countries throughout the world,
volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House of Salt Lake City, and others.
Vivint
has been recognized several times this year for its philanthropic
efforts. The company was selected as the 2012 Corporate Volunteer
Program of the Year by the Utah Commission on Volunteers, and in March
it received the 2012 Mission 500 Corporate Social Responsibility Award,
which is designed to honor companies in the security industry that make
important contributions to those in need.
