At Allegion, we recognize that investments in employee development, safety and corporate responsibility are not only our contributions to doing the right thing and, ultimately, making the communities where we live, learn and work stronger – but these investments also help provide better shareholder return through productivity, engagement, creativity and innovation.
Our employees' wellbeing is a guiding light for Allegion. "Be safe, be healthy" is one of our eight core values. It was built into our foundation as a company, and we take pride in our safety history.
