Social Involvement
J+J/Invision is a proven leader in the community through
the support of numerous local initiatives, fundraisers
and awareness campaigns. While J+J/Invision’s management
group supports these activities, it is often our
associates that show us the need and lead the way in
making this involvement possible.
- Annual United Way Campaign
- During the past 15 years, J+J/Invision and all
associates have contributed over $2 million to the
local United Way Chapter, the most per capita of any
business in the carpet industry.
- Boy Scouts of America
- J+J/Invision partnered with local Eagle Scout
Troop 98 to construct stairs leading down to the J+J
Wetlands. The stairs allow employees and people in
the community to access the wetlands and enjoy
nature, while offering the Scout Troop an
opportunity to complete a project as a group.
- Junior Achievement
- Many J+J/Invision employees are actively
involved in the local Junior Achievement program.
Children ranging from kindergarten to high school
are taught the value of business and economics by
J+J/Invision volunteers.
- Former CEO, Jim Jolly, was named to the Junior
Achievement Business Hall of Fame in March 2009.

Environmental Action
Since 1991, J+J/Invision has pursued an ambitious,
wide-ranging effort at our corporate campus, in the
community and among all associates to encourage and
support working and thinking with sustainability and
environmental concerns in mind. This endeavor goes
beyond the typical “green” business initiatives. It is
more than an effort to create a good deed here and
there, it is a mindset that can be carried into the
employees’ everyday lives and spread to their families.
- Associate Recycling Program
On-site recycling containers that allow all
associates the convenience to bring recyclable
materials from home including plastics, paper,
aluminum, glass and electronics.
- Adopt-A-Mile Program
- Conasauga River Alliance
- J+J/Invision Wetlands Conservancy
- J+J/Invision created a 20 acre wetlands conservancy to
collect run-off storm water from our campus and
surrounding businesses. This wetlands area was donated
to the City of Dalton. |
