PUMA SUSTAINABILITY HANDBOOKS

PUMA’s Code of Conduct was introduced back in 1993 and expresses two commitments publicly and transparently:

  • PUMA respects Human Rights. This defines our engagement with the societies in which we operate, and with our partners throughout our supply chain.
  • Engaging with societies also includes environmental aspects. We are determined to manage, reduce and report on the impact on the environment of both our organization and our supply chain.


To comply with the PUMA Code of Conduct, all our vendors must meet the required environmental, chemical, social and occupational health and safety standards, as laid out in the PUMA Sustainability Handbooks. These standards may exceed local legal requirements; where differences or conflicts arise, the highest standard shall apply.
