Connor’s Commitment To Our Community
Goes Beyond the Brushstroke
We Give Back:
At Connor Painting, giving back isn’t just a line item on our to-do list—it’s woven into the fabric of our business. We see it as a responsibility and a privilege to reinvest in the people, partners, and communities that help us thrive. Our commitment to giving back runs deep. You’ll see signs of it everywhere, as in…
- our robust safety culture where the health and wellbeing of our employees and customers always comes first,
- the partnerships we cultivate and the products and services we procure from women and minority-owned businesses,
- the financial and volunteer support we offer nonprofits and foundations who play a crucial role in providing essential social, educational, and workforce development services.
It’s how we ensure that the success we achieve together benefits everyone connected to our journey. And it all starts with a mission.
1. We Live Our Mission
Our giving culture is not by chance. It’s in our Connor Painting mission and we live it! Our expectation is that that ownership and employees give and volunteer at a level that is significant to each one.
Our mission is to elevate the commercial and industrial painting and
facility services experience by promoting excellence in innovation,
safety, sustainability and social responsibility.
2. Giving Back to Our Employees
We believe that taking care of our employees is the first step in giving back. As an Employ Indy Certified Good Wages Initiative Employer, we are committed to going above and beyond providing sustainable wages. We do this by offering comprehensive benefits to every full-time employee (which is 100% of our workforce) as well as offering a 401K, profit-sharing, bonus opportunities for excellence in customer service and job performance, paid time off, vacations, holidays and more. Our commitment to employee development at all levels of the organization is a driving force for rapid advancement. Above all else, as a Coalition for Construction Safety Certified (CCS) company, we are crazy about fostering a safety-driven work environment. By ensuring our team is supported, both financially, physically, and mentally, we are building a workforce that feels valued and empowered to succeed. As us about our Mindfulness

4. Purchasing from Women and Minority Owned Businesses
Diversity is a strength we champion in every facet of our business. With women and minorities making up 80% of our workforce, we know a thing or two about the value it brings. We actively seek out opportunities to hire and contract with women- and minority-owned businesses. By doing so, we not only support underrepresented groups but also foster innovation and growth within our industry. Our commitment to inclusivity strengthens our organization and community and paves the way for a more equitable future. We are the proud two-time recipient of the Mid-States Minority Business Council Tier 2 Diversity Spend Award, and we’re committed to break our own record year after year.
5. Sustainability: Giving Back to the Planet
Another vital way we give back is through our commitment to sustainability. We recognize that the well-being of our communities and industry is directly tied to the health of the environment. That’s why we prioritize eco-friendly practices in our operations, from using sustainable materials to minimizing waste and water on job sites. By continuously seeking out greener solutions and reducing our environmental footprint, we aim to give back to the planet, ensuring that future generations can thrive in a healthier, more sustainable world.
