SECTION ONE 1. PUMA Mission Statement & Environment Policy 1.1 Mission Statement PUMA’s mission is to be the most desirable and sustainable Sportslifestyle company in the world. Sustainable in a way that PUMA puts in consideration the best interest and welfare of the workers who make PUMA products, the consumer, the general public who use our products and the environment that provides the resources to make our products. PUMA aim to do this while striving to make our business profitable in order to continuously provide the best benefits for all of our stakeholders. 1.2 Environmental Policy As part of our Corporate Mission Statement, Sustainability with its three dimensions Humanity, Ecology and Economy is enormously important for PUMA and we recognize that the protection of the environment is an ongoing process and challenge. In our aim to carry out more sustainable activities we strive to effectively comply with local and international environmental legislations, be transparent to our stakeholders regarding the environmental impact, and to continuously improve our performance. Our environmental policy applies to all of our branches worldwide and we request our suppliers and service providers to adopt the same principles. The key points of our policy are: • Ensure compliance to all legal regulations both at PUMA and our business partner and setting standards that go beyond legal requirements Enforcing the highest environmental standards benefits PUMA economically by avoiding the risks associated with illegal non-compliance, being prepared in time for any new regulations and by maintaining a frontrunner position to generate a positive momentum on environmental issues within the company and our stakeholders. • Fully integrate the Environmental Policy into the Corporate Strategy and align with Key Stakeholders Sustainability cannot be achieved by an individual department or brand alone, it requires all the individuals and stakeholders involved to serve a common goal. • Find Win-Win Solutions for both Financial and Environmental Interests We are convinced that in the long term our reduction targets on CO2, energy, water and waste, both corporateand production-related, will generate financial savings through reducing resources’ consumption. Our efforts, combined with a more sustainable product offering, will also help to keep PUMA staff and consumers loyal and to generate new consumers while reducing PUMA’s impact on the Environment. 6
• Communicate the Environmental Policy to different levels of PUMA’s Organization and main Stakeholders After setting our standards, we aim to effectively communicate its content amongst all persons working for or on behalf of PUMA, in order to, raise awareness and enlist support in improving our environmental performance within all divisions of PUMA, our business partners and consumers. • Strive for Continuous Improvement We strive to undertake more sustainable activities and produce more sustainable products of which are continuously monitored against set targets. We set specific steps to reduce and prevent our environmental impact. The targets we pursue to achieve include the following: Use energy as efficiently as possible Continue to offset the CO2 Emissions from our own offices, warehouses and stores worldwide Work towards becoming a paperless company Minimize waste, reuse and recycle rather than traditional disposal methods Conserve, reuse and recycle water through the promotion of water recycling and rain water harvesting Prefer environmentally friendly products and services for own purchasing decisions Develop and offer environmentally friendly products to our customers and the consumer Minimize packaging and make essential packaging from more sustainable materials Meet or exceed all the environmental legislation that governs us Track, calculate and reduce the environmental impact generated by our activities 7
