Why We Sponsored the EDDY Awards: A Reflection on Servicon’s Commitment to LA’s Future
At Servicon, we’ve always believed that cleaning and facility maintenance is about more than just keeping areas spotless, it’s about creating environments where people and communities can thrive. That’s why sponsoring LAEDC’s EDDY Awards wasn’t just a branding opportunity for us. It was a statement of purpose.
The EDDY Awards bring together Los Angeles’ most influential business, civic, and nonprofit leaders. It’s a celebration of the partnerships that power our region’s economic engine. For Servicon, it was a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with those shaping the future of LA, and to make sure that future includes everyone.
Our industry, cleaning and facilities maintenance, is often overlooked in conversations about economic development. But the truth is, we’re a vital part of LA’s economy. We employ thousands of frontline workers, many from historically underserved communities. These are the people who keep our hospitals safe, our schools clean, and our infrastructure running. They are essential, and they deserve to be seen as such.
That’s why we invest in them. From leadership development to universal benefits, we’re committed to workforce equity. We want our employees to not only have jobs, but careers. Sponsoring the EDDY Awards was a way to spotlight that commitment and to advocate for an economy that values every contributor, not just those in the boardroom.
Economic development, to us, isn’t just about GDP or job numbers. It’s about public health. It’s about environmental sustainability. It’s about community wellbeing. These are the pillars of a resilient Los Angeles, and they’re the values we bring to every client, every facility, every day.
Looking ahead, LA is preparing for global moments like the Olympics and the World Cup. These events will test our city’s infrastructure, resilience, and service standards. Servicon is ready. We’re innovating in sustainability and emerging technologies, and we’re proud to be part of the solution.
The EDDY Awards reminded me that the future of LA depends on collaboration, across industries, across communities, across perspectives. Servicon is here for that. We’re helping build a better Los Angeles.
Join us at the EDDY Awards to celebrate LA’s economic champions and help shape a more inclusive, prosperous future for all Angelenos. Your presence drives the transformation!
