Security Industry Community Service Day
#SecurityGivesBack on june 7, 2024, with new day focused on community service projects
Created by the SIA Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Advisory Board, the Security Industry Community Service Day is a day meant to rally the entire security industry to give back and make the world a better place.
The inaugural Security Industry Community Service Day stems from a day of service that volunteers from Zenitel and Convergint pioneered and spreads this commitment of service to the entire security industry. For this inaugural year, SIA wishes to thank ASSA ABLOY and HID; these companies have committed to sponsoring this inaugural service day.

How You Can Get Involved
SIA’s Security Industry Community Service Day encourages each company to give back in a way that best matches its own company values and the interests of its team. While some companies may choose to participate as a team, other organizations may wish to empower employees to identify ways to individually contribute.
