Demonstrated progress

We will continue to implement the recommendations outlined in our Corporate and Supply Chain Risk Assessments to improve and formalise ongoing risk management processes to better identify, prevent, mitigate and account for risks within our supply chain. We request core Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers to conduct due diligence on their own operations and supply chains. PUMA will maintain its commitments to enable a common framework for improving migrant workers protection.

Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: Cotton farming
• Area: Within your supply chains
• Tier: Tier 3 suppliers and below
• Group: Women Migrants
• Location: Bangladesh China Vietnam
• Mitigation: For cotton farming, we have increased our previous target from 50% to now source 90% of our cotton via the Better Cotton Initiative [BCI) by 2020. In this way we will cover most of the cotton used in PUMA products by sustainable cotton initiatives like the BCI. Latest by 2025, we aim for 100% of all our cotton to be sourced from more sustainable origin.
• Risk: Cattle Ranching and Leather supply
• Group: Migrants
• Mitigation: In parallel, we work on improving the traceability of the leather we use via the traceability system of the Leather Working Group, where over 90% of our leather suppliers are members.
• Risk: Marine shipping
• Group: Other vulnerable groups
• Mitigation: We work with top-class logistic companies and ask them to frequently update us on their own Human Rights policies and performance.
