"Training and Awareness"
"In 2022, 98.7% of PUMA employees [with an email-account) completed an annual e-learning training on our Code of Ethics. Available in eleven languages, this training sets out the ethical ground rules in place and presents case studies and ethical dilermmas 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 amongst others, anticorruption, anti-money laundering, cornpetition law, conflict of interest, diversity and respect for Human Rights and environmental protection.
At the supply chain level, we have conducted frequent supplier round tables in all major sourcing regions for several years, on different topics including PUMA’s Cade of Ethics, potential forcedlabor issues in the supply chain, particularly for migrant workers. Foreign migrant workers are the group which Is considered as the most exposed to significant risks of forced labor in supply chains. Material and component suppliers were also invited to these meetings. In 2022, we also provided a series of training sessions to 496 factories, with around 1,160 participants at each session, on our standards, goais and Human Rights programs. We conducted training for 1,145 factories’ representatives and 280 sourcing staff on PUMA’s responsible purchasing practice policy. PUMA has used e-learning tools from the International Organization for Migration in employer guidelines. 79 factory representatives from 36 factories from Mauritius, China (Taiwan), South Korea, Thailand and Japan completed this course and were certified in 2022.
"The International Training Centre (ITC) has been at the forefront of learning and training since 1944. As part of the International Labour Organization, it is dedicated to achieving decent work while exploring the frontiers of the future of work. To strengthen PUMA’s commitment to promote Responsible Business Conduct (RBC), fundamental principles and rights at work, and occupational safety and health (OSH) throughout our operations and network of business partners, ITC-ILO created custornized online training packages for our sustainability team. After completing courses (10 RBC - modules plus 18 OSH modules] and successfully passing the technical exams with the ITC-ILO, PUMA Social Sustainability team members were certified by ITC-ILO as Trainers on RBC and OSH in 2021. The PUMA team is training and certifying the factory management team to deliver training to workers on RBC and OSH. One of the topics is harassment and violence at the workplace. In 2021 we conducted a pilot to train 10 factory managerial staff, who extended the training to 570 workers, counting for more than 386 hours of training, at four factories in China, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Indonesia. In 2022 we trained 287 factory managerial staff in 114 factories, who extended the training to 159,503 workers, counting for 142,841 hours of training in 18 countries on harassment and violence at the workplace. In 2022, 351 factory managerial team passed the ITC-ILO course [five RBC plus five OHS modules]. We conduct a quiz after all the trainings that we have conducted to evaluate the level of understanding from the participants."
