Plenco - Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative

PLENCO CSR Initiative

IV. Human Rights

and Freedoms

With operations in the United States and Mexico and

suppliers and customers around the world, our company

understands the interconnected nature of today’s mar-

ketplace. Respect for human rights and freedoms is a key

component of our Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative.

Plenco will not engage with a supplier that violates human

rights standards. If Plenco learns of abuses among our

suppliers, we will seek proper recourse, including possible

termination of the relationships.

Child Labor

Plenco prohibits the employment of individuals under 18

years of age, with the exemption of temporary student

summer personnel. We fully comply with Wisconsin State

Law and U.S. Federal Law with regard to the employment of

minors.

Forced Labor and Human Trafficking

Plenco prohibits the use of all forms of forced labor and

human trafficking at our United States and Mexico facilities,

including indentured labor, bonded labor, prison labor, slave

labor and any labor derived from human trafficking.

Plenco employees, contractors, subcontractors, vendors,

suppliers, partners and others through whom Plenco

conducts business must not engage in any practice that

constitutes trafficking in persons or slavery.

Universal Human Rights

Generally speaking, the Universal Declaration of Human

Rights, proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly

in Paris on December 10, 1948, ratified a valuable and inclu-

sive description of what universal human rights are and how

they are the rights of all women, men and children on Earth.

Many provisions are inspired by historic and cherished

American documents such as the Declaration of Indepen-

dence, the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights. Plenco

upholds these principles.
