PUMA has now secured a place on the CDP’s annual ‘A List’ for its leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change for the second consecutive year.
Out of the 23,000 responses on CDP’s 2023 Climate Change questionnaire data, PUMA is one of a few companies that achieved an ‘A’.
“Reducing our CO2 emissions is a priority for PUMA, both in the supply chain and our own offices, stores and warehouses,” said Anne Laure Descours, Chief Sourcing Officer at PUMA.
“Being placed on the CDP ‘A List’ is a great recognition of our efforts, but we will not be complacent and continue to sharpen our decarbonisation goals.”
The sports retailer aims to reduce CO2 emissions along its entire value chain and sources 100 percent renewable energy.
“For signatories of the Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, disclosing data to CDP is a fundamental requirement, as transparency is essential to the analysis and understanding of climate action and progress,” said Lindita Xhaferi-Salihu, Sector Engagement Lead with UN Climate Change.
Last year, PUMA’s Tier 1 Suppliers increased their use of renewable energy to 23.1 per cent, while that of the Tier 2 Suppliers rose to 21.7 per cent.
Only 0.3 percent of its products were shipped by air last year, and there was also a switch to low-emissions shipping with its logistics partner Maersk.
