"Our highest level of policy commitment to preventing forced labour and human trafficking is expressed in our Human Rights Policy, which demonstrates our commitment to respecting human rights in accordance with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). We have also included clear and well-defined policies on the prohibition of human trafficking and modern slavery in our Policy on Responsible Recruitment and Responsible Sourcing and Purchasing Policy.

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. Our active efforts are guided by the adidas Workplace Standards, which is our supply chain code of conduct. Irrespective of country, or location, we expect our supplier partners to uphold our Workplace Standards, which explicitly prohibit all forms of forced labour, including prison labour. To explain how we expect our suppliers to live up to our Workplace Standards – including our expectations on forced labour and child labour – we have produced a number of supporting guidelines that detail our expectations for fair, healthy, safe workplace conditions and environmentally sound factory operations."
