"WASTE AT OUR OWN OPERATIONS

At our own operations, the most significant fractions of waste are paper and cardboard (notably from outer carton boxes, shoe boxes and office paper usage), poly bags used for transport product packaging and household waste such as organic waste from our canteens. Since we do not operate any industrial manufacturing facilities (with one exception in Argentina), the amount of hazardous waste created in PUMA’s own operations is very low at 36 tons. The 36 tons originate from our factory in Argentina (26 tons) and the exchange of old lighting systems to LED at the PUMA headquarters (9 tons). All hazardous waste is handled strictly in line with hazardous waste regulations.

During 2023, we reminded our PUMA subsidiaries to engage in waste separation and recycling. Consequently, we could increase the rate of recycled waste from 44% in 2019 to 64% in 2023."

"Share of recycled waste 64%"

"Calculation: 36*64/100 = 23.04"

"Figures include PUMA owned or operated offices, warehouses and stores. Includes our own production sites in Argentina."
