In October 2012, we showcased a new audit<br />
rating structure, Pay for Play. This new<br />
audit rating structure will cover all <strong>PUMA</strong>.<br />
Safe s<strong>up</strong>pliers and is expected to go live in<br />
2013. The new scheme s<strong>up</strong>ports our target<br />
achievement in terms of <strong>PUMA</strong>’s internal<br />
benchmark for sustainable products,<br />
S-Index, as well as <strong>PUMA</strong>’s internal s<strong>up</strong>plier<br />
evaluation processes. In addition to a stratified<br />
structure, the new audit rating system<br />
takes into account worker complaints,<br />
their resolution and other issues emerging<br />
between audit inspections. Best practices,<br />
which previously had not been given scores,<br />
have been included in the new rating system<br />
as well.<br />

Figure 18: The graphic shows the percentage of issues discovered<br />
during audits that were resolved<br />
In 2012, <strong>PUMA</strong>.Safe launched an improved<br />
audit quality assurance and grading guidance<br />
protocol that is used by our internal<br />
teams to assess specific regional or local<br />
situations that may not be covered by our<br />
Manual of Standards. This protocol is to be<br />
reviewed and renewed annually to take into<br />
account issues that may arise in all major<br />
sourcing markets. This includes an annual<br />
review of major and critical issues penalized<br />
in the audit rating system.<br />
Training our<br />
s<strong>up</strong>pliers in social issues<br />
In 2012, <strong>PUMA</strong> s<strong>up</strong>ported numerous initiatives<br />
that strengthened the capabilities of our<br />
s<strong>up</strong>pliers to be more responsible towards<br />
their workers and to improve employment<br />
relations within our factories. More importantly,<br />
we provided channels for those that<br />
are often voiceless, and we empowered<br />
them by involving them in the process.<br />
At the end of each audit, our <strong>PUMA</strong>.Safe<br />
team in China informed workers about<br />
local laws, benefit entitlements, grievance<br />
mechanisms and <strong>PUMA</strong>’s Code of Conduct.<br />
This step is particularly aimed at raising<br />
workers’ awareness of their basic rights.<br />
<strong>PUMA</strong> continued to organize annual roundtables<br />
with s<strong>up</strong>pliers in China, Indonesia,<br />
Vietnam and Latin America. These roundtables<br />
were a platform for s<strong>up</strong>pliers to<br />
raise and discuss issues that are relevant<br />
for creating sustainable workplace conditions.<br />
<strong>PUMA</strong>.Safe used these roundtables<br />
to <strong>up</strong>date s<strong>up</strong>pliers on recent developments<br />
in compliance policies and capacity building<br />
efforts.<br />
The Indonesia roundtable deepened the local<br />
s<strong>up</strong>pliers’ understanding of specific local<br />
laws and commitments such as the Freedom<br />
of Association Protocol. In China, the<br />
roundtable increased interaction between<br />
the 52 participants representing 30 factories,<br />
the <strong>PUMA</strong>.Safe team and the <strong>PUMA</strong><br />
sourcing team. In Vietnam, roundtable discussions<br />
addressed concerns relating to<br />
worker health and safety risk assessment,<br />
changes in labor law, and worker retention.<br />
In Latin America, roundtable participants<br />
formed sub-gro<strong>up</strong>s to s<strong>up</strong>port best practice<br />
learning in all areas of social and environmental<br />
sustainability.<br />
Of the issues<br />
raised in 2012,<br />
on average 79 %<br />
were properly<br />
resolved.<br />
