PUMA has issued its new Sustainability Report 2005/2006. For the first time, German Technical Service and Assurance Provider TÜV Rheinland verified and certificated the report.
Greenpeace and Fair Labor Association (FLA) have explicitly recognized the social and ecological commitment of the Sportlifestyle company.
The report is published in accordance with the demanding guidelines of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), a large multistakeholder network.
PUMA's Sustainability Report obtained the best GRI application level A+ - a first in the sporting goods industry. Moreover, according to Swiss Institute SAM (Sustainability Asset Management), PUMA will continue to be ranked in Dow Jones and STOXX Sustainability Index next year.
On a total of 84 pages, PUMA presents its extensive activities in the area of social standards, environment protection and restricted substances.
The Sportlifestyle company clearly outlines the continuous improvement of S.A.F.E. (Social Accountability and Fundamental Environmental Standards)-activities.
Their aim is not only to generate fair working conditions, protect the environment and manufacture ecologically compatible products. An active dialog with different stakeholders (and pressure groups) is also of great importance to PUMA.
TÜV Rheinland certifies that “PUMA has developed a significant and operational management system for environmental and social aspects.” Results of the examination confirm that the Sportlifestyle company successfully implemented the “Code of Conduct”, the “Code of Ethics” and the “Handbook for Environmental Issues”.
