Conducting business with integrity is essential to who we are as a premium outdoor recreation company. We must always have an unwavering commitment to act in accordance with the law and the highest ethical standards, every moment of every day. Our Code of Conduct describes this commitment, outlining our shared values and expectations for ethical conduct. Our Code is here to help you understand our ethics-related policies and principles, so that we can together uphold our commitment to conducting business with integrity.
The standards of ethical conduct in our Code apply to every person in the Winnebago Industries family of companies, regardless of position. This includes all employees, officers and members of the board of directors. Third parties representing us or performing work on behalf of us, including consultants, agents and contractors, are also expected to follow our Code.
Conducting business with integrity means that each one of us must take personal responsibility for understanding and upholding the policies and standards contained in our Code. It also means acting in an honest, fair and ethical manner at all times. While conducting business with integrity sounds simple, there may be times when the appropriate action is unclear. If you have questions about whether an action is lawful or complies with our Code, ask your supervisor or manager or our legal department. It is each of our obligation to report all violations of our Code and applicable law.
In certain exceptional circumstances, a waiver from a provision of our Code may be appropriate. Such waivers must be approved by the legal department or, in the case of waivers applicable to any executive officer or member of the board of directors, by the board or the audit committee. Contact the legal department if you believe that an exception to our Code should be considered.
Our Code may be amended or modified only by our board of directors. Questions regarding interpretation of our Code and related policies should be first directed to the legal department.
