By: United Way Staff

Global technology and engineering company, Emerson, provides innovative solutions for customers in industrial, commercial and residential markets. The company’s purpose is to “drive innovation that makes the world healthier, safer, smarter and more sustainable.”

Each year, Emerson and its employees get involved in United Way fundraising and volunteer activities throughout the U.S. to help strengthen the communities in which they live and work.

“As a company, Emerson strives to advance health, comfort, food quality and safety through our work and in our support of the United Way,” said Jon Stokes, Group President of Measurement Solutions at Emerson.  “I know from personal experience that by supporting the United Way, and by volunteering in our communities, we can make a positive difference in people’s lives.”

Through a combination of corporate gifts and the company’s Greater Twin Cities United Way employee giving campaign, Emerson’s impact throughout our community is significant.
