Adidas has a long history of making sustainability part of our operations, and it is an essential and central part of our strategy,” said Hubert. Adidas is making sure that everyone in the chain contributes, including using recycled polyester, better cotton, and renewable energy in the production process, and meeting our commitment to end plastic waste. The company’s sustainable business evolution has its roots in compliance. It began with a commitment decades ago to healthy and safe working conditions at supplier factories. Today, adidas indirectly employs almost one million people across a vast supply chain, and has evolved its pioneering sustainable practices from production to encompass materials and transportation, along with product recycling and end-of-life. Like many manufacturing leaders, adidas has become increasingly direct-to-consumer, which Hubert characterized as a major business opportunity.
