EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – The outdoor lifestyle product manufacturer Winnebago Industries Inc. outlined the company’s environmental, social and governance performance progress and COVID-19 response in its 2020 Corporate Responsibility Report.

Throughout the Winnebago, Grand Design RV, Chris- Craft and Newmar brand families, 2020 was about caring for Winnebago employees, communities and customers, the company said in a news release.

Report highlights included:

• During fiscal year 2020, employees and the company cared for 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 established 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 its total recordable incidence rate by 70%. 

• Chris-Craft, Grand Design RV, Newmar and Winnebago products provided respite for customers seeking safe and distant ways to re-connect with the outdoors and each other. Winnebago’s On the Road Again campaign supported the National Park Foundation, while helping Americans imagine their next 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.
