PLENCO CSR Initiative
Clear Communication Channels
Clear channels of communication between and among Plenco’s management and workforce have been
open and expanded during the company’s eight decades in business. The channels include:
Employee-Supervisor Meetings, First Quarter of Each Year
Our communications chain begins with each individual employee of the company, across all
organizational levels, who meet in a group with their supervisor early in each calendar year. The
meetings afford an open forum for voicing questions, concerns and suggestions on safety as well as
other company issues. Minutes are kept, and all employee questions must be answered within a fixed
period of time. We believe our employees deserve a response to any and all questions, comments and
concerns. Employee-Supervisor Meetings have been in place for 50 years at Plenco.
Annual Plenco Employee Meetings, April of Each Year
Since 1968, Annual Employee Meetings have been convened in early April, one in the morning and
one in the afternoon to accommodate the shifts. Top management including the President and
CEO, the Vice President of Human Resources, and the Vice President of Marketing and Sales, make
presentations that, in effect, are “State of the Company” addresses.
The meetings are concrete ratification that “Plenco Means Trust,” as the executives present honest,
forthright and frank remarks, many of which reflect answers to concerns raised in the Employee-
Supervisor meetings. Transparent and conclusive information is communicated, and employees
have been enthusiastic about this annual opportunity to listen and talk directly with the company’s
management.
