Index for combined non-financial Report and GRI content

This report constitutes a separate combined non-financial report in accordance with Sections 289b to 289e and 315b, 315c in conjunction with Sections 289c to 289e of the German Commercial Code (HGB). This consolidated combined non-financial report consists of the "Sustainability" and "Culture" subsections in the "Our People"section as well as “Compliance Management System” and “Corporate Social Responsibility” in the chapter “Corporate Governance Statement in accordance with Section 289f and Section 315d HGB”. The reporting period covered is from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. No restatements of information have been made in this report. We have provided separate reports for PUMA SE and the PUMA Group within the “Our People” section only. Separate reporting of other sustainability data would not add any meaningful new information or value and would require significant additional resources, so we have omitted it here. Information about PUMA’s business model is set out in the Financial section of this Annual Report. We have not identified any most significant non-financial performance indicators according to Article § 289c, section 3, number 5 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). PUMA engaged KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft to perform a “limited assurance” audit of the combined sustainability report with a focus on accordance with the German CSR Implementation Act (CSR-RUG).

Since 2003 PUMA’s sustainability reports are based on the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), which developed detailed and widely recognised standards on sustainability reporting. PUMA SE has prepared this report with reference to the GRI Standards GRI 1: Foundation 2021. This option enables us to report on the impacts related to our economic, environmental, social and governance performance. It includes topics that are material to PUMA’s business and our key stakeholders, and that constitute our sustainability targets. These targets have been systematically developed in accordance with the feedback from PUMA’s stakeholders.

Tax

		Location	Pages
GRI 207: Tax 2019	207-1 Approach to tax	“WE PAY OUR FAIR SHARE” is the core principle the PUMA Group is taking into consideration for its global tax strategy. In this regard, PUMA fully commits to act in accordance with all international tax regulations and to fulfill any tax obligations arising from its business activities. All information regarding PUMA’s tax approach can be found in the tax strategy (https://about.puma.com/en/investor-relations/corporate-governance, see Tax Strategy)
		As it is a general principle for PUMA to follow tax rules and to pay applicable taxes, taxes as such are not a material issue within the sustainability approach. Consequently, PUMA does not report in detail on the GRI Standard in this regard.
