Scope of the Report

DATA COLLECTION

In the Sustainability report, we cover the PUMA Group data, excluding PUMA United. We collect data from our core suppliers of components, materials, and finished products. Our materials data excludes the materials used by stichd (mainly socks and bodywear) and PUMA United, as well as the materials used for Cobra Golf equipment, as these companies run their own sourcing. For social compliance data, PUMA United, stichd, and Cobra Golf factories producing PUMA products are included. For environmental data, we also report stichd own sites and factories according to PUMA’s Environmental Performance Rating System.

We do not provide separate reports for PUMA SE and the Group in the Sustainability section.

DATA SOURCES

To ensure a high level of transparency and promote the sharing of environmental and social data with our industry peers, we have chosen to use external databases, most of which are publicly accessible:

• The Open Supply Hub, an open-source map and database of global apparel facilities
• The Fair Factories Clearinghouse for sharing social audit data with other brands
• The wastewater platform of the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals Foundation (ZDHC) for supplier data on wastewater testing reports (ClearStream reports)
• The ZDHC Chemicals Gateway for the use of safe chemicals
• ZDHC-approved chemical inventory platforms: BHive, CleanChain, E3
• RSL database Green Arrow
• The China-based NGO IPE for the publication of suppliers’ environmental data
• IPE’s Green Supply Chain Map of environmental performance data of some of our core suppliers in China
• The Higg Index Platform Worldy
• The Fair Labor Association (FLA) fair compensation dashboard to benchmark factory workers’ income towards industry and/or living wage benchmark
• The Fair Wage Network database
• ACCORD Bangladesh inspections database: The Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh
• Worker Complaints – third-party platforms: MicroBenefits CIQ, Labor Solution - WOVO, Amader Kotha

We also use our own sustainability data collection tool to record social and environmental performance data from PUMA-owned and operated sites and from the core suppliers that manufacture our products or the material used in our products.
