RV giant Winnebago Industries has joined the United Nations Global Compact, a corporate sustainability initiative designed to advance principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. The company joins more that 12,000 other global signatories of the initiative in a move that will further enhance its corporate responsibility.

As a signatory, Winnebago Industries confirms its support of the United Nations Global Compact’s Ten Principles and commits to integrating these principles into our company’s strategy. Winnebago Industries also will engage in projects that advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Stacy Bogart, Winnebago Industries senior vice president, general counsel and corporate responsibility, said: “Winnebago Industries is committed to taking a long-term view, while approaching corporate responsibility goals with urgency. Throughout 2020, the global pandemic and racial justice reckoning taught us just how interdependent our communities, economies and environment are. Working together, we can move forward.”

Since 2018, Winnebago Industries has embarked on a newly focused corporate responsibility strategy with environmental, social and governance priority topics. From environmental sustainability to building an inclusive, diverse and equitable workplace, the company reports its progress through an annual corporate responsibility report.

Winnebago Industries president and CEO Michael Happe added: “Collective action is imperative to addressing the environmental and social challenges our global society faces. Winnebago Industries is proud to join like-minded companies as a signatory of the U.N. Global Compact.”
