assessment.<br />

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 />
