This was made possible by its core suppliers doubling their use
of renewable energy in 2023 compared to the previous year,
increasing the use of less carbon intensive materials in its
products, the introduction of low carbon shipment tariffs by PUMA’s
logistics partner Maersk, by using renewable electricity or
purchasing renewable energy certificates at its own operations and
by investing in electric vehicles in its car fleet. Compared with
the 2017 baseline, this means an absolute greenhouse gas emission
reduction of 29%.
“We are very proud of the progress we have achieved on our
sustainability journey in 2023, particularly when it comes to the
reduction of greenhouse gases,” said Anne-Laure Descours, Chief
Sourcing Officer at PUMA. “We will not stop there, however, and
continue to execute our FOREVER.BETTER. sustainability strategy and
our 10FOR25 targets.”
With an 85% reduction of own emissions and a 65% reduction of
supply chain emissions relative to sales, PUMA achieved its first
science-based greenhouse gas reduction target in 2023, seven years
ahead of the target year 2030. PUMA’s new climate goals, which were
approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), aim to
reduce PUMA’s emissions by what scientists say is necessary to keep
global warming below 1.5 degrees. By 2030, PUMA aims to reduce its
absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% from a 2017 baseline
year. The SBTi has classified PUMA Scope 1 and 2 targets as in line
with a 1.5-degree trajectory. By 2030, PUMA also commits to reduce
absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from its supply chain and logistics
by 33% compared to 2017.
Apart from increasing its climate ambitions, PUMA also made
progress with its other 10FOR25 sustainability targets,
reaching two out of ten targets ahead of schedule.
PUMA met its Plastics and the Oceans target by eliminating
plastic carrier bags from its owned and operated stores and through
researching biodegradable plastic options. An important part of
this target was PUMA’s successful RE:SUEDE experiment, where
it turned an experimental version of its classic Suede sneaker into
compost under controlled industrial conditions. A commercial
version will be launched in April 2024.
It also achieved its Human Rights target by training more than
220,000 factory workers on women’s empowerment and completely
mapping subcontractors and Tier 2 suppliers for human rights risks.
In addition, PUMA employees donated over 57,000 of community
engagement hours.
Other progress included scaling up the use of recycled materials
in 2023, producing 8 out of 10 products with a significant part of
recycled or certified materials. Starting 2024, all* of PUMA’s
replica football jerseys will be made using PUMA’s RE:FIBRE
recycling technology which focuses on polyester textile waste as
the primary source of material.
