Our commitment to ensuring fair labour practices and safe working conditions in our manufacturing
facilities throughout our global supply chain is fundamental to our human rights approach.
We regularly assess our manufacturing partners on their ability to provide fair, healthy, and environmentally sound workplace conditions by conducting announced and unannounced audits through our own team and
accredited external auditors
.
Such audits evaluate a supplier’s compliance with our Workplace Standards, which include a prohibition against the use of any form of forced labour, child labour or human trafficking.

“Responses received through the ‘Workers Voice’ platform are carefully tracked by adidas, using KPIs and dashboard reviews, case satisfaction ratings and on-site worker interviews. This allows us to evaluate the efficacy of the grievance channels, see major cases in real time and undertake timely interventions, where necessary. It also helps us understand the main challenges and labour rights issues in a factory and track how the factory management and their HR teams resolve cases and communicate their findings.”
