PLENCO CSR Initiative
Working Together to Reach
Mutual Goals
TWO-WAY COMMUNICATIONS…
Every April, just as spring is returning to Wisconsin on the western shores of Lake Michigan, Plenco
employees assemble for the annual employee meetings. This critical discussion has been going on
for 49 years.
In effect, Plenco’s management presents a “state of the company” report, looking back on the
previous year and forward to the year ahead.
Each generation of the company leadership has considered these talks to be an essential part of
building and sustaining an ongoing relationship within the Plenco family.
The economic picture from the previous year is described honestly and fully. Challenges and
accomplishments are noted. Pay increases are announced, and a full discussion about employee
benefits occurs, with additions and modifications explained. New customers are described, new
policies explained.
No holds are barred. The conversations are candid and clear, with each of the members of
management leadership attending the meetings.
