PLENCO CSR Initiative
VIII. Community Responsibilities
Plenco’s responsibilities to communities in which it has facilities focus on:
Financial support for educational, medical, safety and similar components of a
healthy society.
Encouragement of volunteer membership and leadership in philanthropic,
character-building, educational, medical, service and similar organizations.
Responsiveness to challenges presented by proximity of Plenco production
facilities to residential parts of the community.
Along with a commitment of quality and trust towards our clients, Plenco also places an emphasis on our
role as a community member. This involves ensuring a steady, proactive and positive presence within our
direct community now and in the future. Four traditional areas of focus in Plenco’s community involvement
have been and are:
Since 1955, Plenco has supported the Frank G. & Frieda K. Brotz Family Foundation, Inc., named after the
company founder and his wife, which has made charitable investments to local educational, social and
healthcare institutions over the years.
Through support of the Foundation as well as our own efforts and initiatives, Plenco has made significant
contributions to enhancing local educational workforce development opportunities in Eastern Wisconsin.
This includes support of Marquette University, the University of Wisconsin-Sheboygan, Lakeshore Techni-
cal College and Lakeland College. To support healthcare, Plenco has been a proud supporter of Children’s
Hospital of Wisconsin.
