Lennox International: Business With a Heart

As a global business, Lennox International has more than 12,000 associates employed. These employees are employed by the various subsidiaries of the company. For more than a century now, the company has given us some of the best names in climate control products. In addition, the company is also one of the businesses in the United States that have been actively giving back to the communities it serves.

The products that are manufactured by the company are HVAC equipment (heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration products). These products are marketed around the world under different brand names. Founded in 1895, the business has further diversified its products and services. It currently has four principal business segments: Residential Heating and Cooling, Commercial Heating and Cooling, Service Experts and Refrigeration. Their products are used in various establishments and households and provide the much needed climate control.

While the business is generating the much needed revenue, its values remain anchored to the principle of giving back to the community it serves. The commitment of Lennox International transcends any agreement on paper as they mobilize their employees to do volunteering activities. These efforts are also backed by the company’s contributions through financial means. Their corporate giving programs revolve around five key areas: Environment, Human Services and Health, Youth Development, Education and the Arts. They have partnered with various organizations that are capable of reaching a wider audience. They are partners with The Make-A-Wish Foundation, United Way, Special Olympics, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Susan G. Komen Foundation. On a yearly basis, Lennox makes more than 100 donations to non-profit organizations around the world. Their employees also make donations to their favorite charities and Lennox sees to it that they are able to match this donation to double its impact.

The company is headquartered in Richardson, Texas and was founded by Dave Lennox in 1895. Their manufacturing facilities are located in Marshalltown, Iowa and in Saltillo, Mexico.
