"Training and Awareness

In 2019, 99% of PUMA employees (with email-account) completed an annual e-learning Code of Ethics training. Available in eleven languages, this training sets out the ethical ground rules in place and presents case studies and ethical dilemmas that help employees ask themselves the right questions. It is updated annually and covers all the major ethics principles upheld by PUMA's Code of Ethics. Some of the topics covered include anti-corruption, diversity and respect for Human Rights. At the supply chain level, we have conducted frequent supplier round tables in all major sourcing regions for several years.

In 2019, we trained 600 PUMA supplier representatives at our annual supplier Round Table Meetings on different topics including potential forced-labor issues in the supply chain, particularly for migrant workers. Migrant workers are the group considered most exposed to significant risks of forced labor in supply chains. Material and component suppliers are also invited to these meetings.

We also collaborated with the FLA, the International Organization of Migration (IOM) and industry peers to assess labor conditions throughout the natural rubber supply chain in Vietnam. The primary objective is to understand supply chain structures, assess worker demographics, recruitment processes, and working conditions at the various tiers of the natural rubber supply chain. The project closure report will be published by the end of 2020."
