More Information About Sustainability at adidas
More about environmental sustainability at adidas:
adidas developed an approach to address its carbon footprint, water efficiency and quality and is committed to steadily increasing the use of more sustainable materials in its production, products and stores, whilst driving circular business solutions. This is achieved by:
Improving Water Efficiency and Quality
Because outsourcing is a key aspect of adidas production, its supply chains play a big part in its environmental impact. For this reason, adidas partners with its suppliers to ensure the highest environmental standards are applied. Using ‘E-KPI’ – a tool used to measure and improve environmental performance – adidas is able to provide a high level of transparency into suppliers’ actual water consumption and reduction opportunities, supporting them with insight into areas for improvement and training needs.
Having overachieved its 2020 water intensity reduction for both Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, adidas is expanding its water reduction efforts to include additional Tier 2 suppliers with a goal to achieve 40% reduction in water consumption against the 2017 baseline by 2025.
Chemical Management
The management of chemicals in multi-tiered supply chains is a complex challenge, requiring many actors to play a role in achieving effective and sustainable solutions.
Adidas continues to promote and support collaborative actions within the sportswear and apparel industry to gain greater leverage in improving the environmental impacts of factory operations.
Mitigating Climate Change
Using energy responsibly is critical for the planet’s survival. To mitigate climate change, adidas is committed to:
· Reducing its absolute energy consumption and CO2 emissions;
· Transitioning to clean energy; and
· Looking into energy harvesting opportunities.
As a signatory to the UN Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action, adidas has committed to reduce both its own and its suppliers’ greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2017 by 30 percent by 2030 and to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
