its 2020 Corporate Responsibility Report. Throughout the Winnebago,
Grand Design RV, Chris-Craft and Newmar brand families, 2020 was
about caring for people—employees, communities and customers.
“The onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic and a social justice
action imperative urgently prioritized our people-centered goals,
with a particular focus on employee health and safety and
diversity, equity and inclusion,” said Michael Happe, Winnebago
Industries President and CEO. “We recognize that to navigate the
uncharted, we are better together.”
Caring for our colleagues, communities and customers, we are
committed to a journey of continuous listening, learning and
improvement. Report highlights include:

community, waste, energy and emissions, and product
sustainability.

colleagues, communities and customers by directing resources to sew
and donate masks and PPE and contributing early to COVID-19
community response funds in Florida, Indiana, Iowa and Minnesota.
The Winnebago Industries Foundation, company leaders and employees
contributed to establish the WGO Together Fund, providing immediate
relief to more than 850 employees experiencing financial hardship
due to the pandemic.
- Winnebago Industries maintained a steady, year-over-year safety
record, despite an unprecedented pandemic-induced suspension and
resumption of operations and integrating Newmar into enterprise
operations. Since 2016, the company has reduced Total Recordable
Incidence Rate by 70 percent.
- Winnebago Industries accelerated its commitment to diversity,
equity and inclusion by listening deeply to employees and
communities. The company has committed to an ongoing journey to
build an inclusive workplace where all employees feel a sense of

employees, in signing the CEO Action for Diversity and Inclusion
commitment.
- On the water or on land, Chris-Craft, Grand Design RV, Newmar
and Winnebago products provided respite for customers seeking safe
and distant ways to reconnect with the outdoors and each other.
Winnebago’s On the Road Again campaign supported the National Park
Foundation, while helping Americans imagine their next great
adventure. Chris-Craft, Grand Design RV and Newmar owners shared
their stories with No Barriers outdoor enthusiasts of all abilities
and walks of life at the 2020 virtual summit, and Winnebago
Industries employees partnered with the Minnesota Vikings Table
food truck, a Winnebago Specialty Vehicle, to alleviate summer
hunger and provide jobs to restaurant workers impacted by the
pandemic.
- Winnebago Industries efforts to minimize waste and explore
alternative energy sources continue, with instrumental baseline
data collection and promising product and operations
innovation.
“As Winnebago Industries evolves and transforms, our ongoing
commitment to corporate responsibility and our drive to
continuously improve remain constant,” said Stacy Bogart, Winnebago
Industries SVP, General Counsel, Corporate Secretary and Corporate
