Environmental strategy
Adidas Group has a five-year plan to restructure the company’s approach to environmental management along the entire value chain. An important part of the strategy is about Packaging. The adidas Group has been reviewing the material content in shoe boxes for many years. Beginning with the use of soy-based and water-based inks through to 100% recycled cardboards. In 2011, they will review all packaging concepts used throughout their brands and different product groups. They will specify environmental targets for further packaging reduction and optimisation for 2015.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Social responsibility is an integral part of the brand values,
and Adidas has a tradition of requiring its suppliers to conform to social and environmental standards.
In 1998 further steps were taken to ensure that there are acceptable working conditions in the factories which supply Adidas products.
The corporate Standards of Engagement (SOE) were sent to suppliers confirming the policy on minimum requirements for labor, health, safety and environmental issues at all Adidas facilities and those of our suppliers.
The SOE is based on the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry model Code of Conduct and states that Adidas will not conduct business with suppliers who use forced labor or child labor and do not comply with the employment laws of the country concerned. It has been translated for display in factories into the languages of the countries where products are sourced.
Support for Child Labor Projects
Adidas through the World Federation of the Sporting Goods Industry supports the child labor project in Pakistan which is succeeding in providing education opportunities for children and thus alternatives to stitching balls. A similar project is being developed in India and both involve local sporting goods manufacturers, the UN's International Labor Organization, Save the Children, UNICEF and local non-governmental organizations.
