PLENCO CSR Initiative
III. Employment Practices and
Relationships
A positive, trusting relationship with our employees is of paramount importance to Plenco. It impacts our
customers, contractors and suppliers, and our communities. Plenco’s value as an enterprise can only be
as good as this bond is strong. For more than eight decades, Plenco has maintained a direct relationship
between management and its employees without the need for outside representation.
Equal Employment Opportunity
• Plenco’s policy on equal employment opportuni-
ty prohibits discrimination based on race, color,
religion, national origin, gender, sexual orienta-
tion, gender identity, age, physical or mental
disability, genetic factors or military/veteran
status.
• Establishing trust begins with our hiring practices
and the way we treat our existing employees when
it comes to promotions, benefits, wages and
career advancement.
• Plenco acts in accordance with all applicable
U.S. federal and State of Wisconsin labor and
employment laws.
• Our policy governs all aspects of employment,
including selection, job assignment, compen-
sation, discipline, termination, and access to
benefits and training.
• Plenco maintains a seniority system that is used
where appropriate, while otherwise taking into
account a person’s specific merit and qualifica-
tions for advancement and internal promotion.
This seniority system is one component of
fairness within our organization. It contributes
to the sense of loyalty felt between management
and Plenco employees.
