FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

This section should answer most of your questions concerning our supplier recruitment process.

adidas’ Global Sourcing strives to become the leading organization in the industry by establishing an adaptive supply network which excels in speed, innovation, agility and connectivity. This could not happen without the support and commitment of our product suppliers. Thus it is essential for them to share the same values and principles so as to drive the success of the supply chain as a whole.

We look for overall competence in our suppliers: Vision, Supplier Partnerships based on Shared Values, Technical Capability, Leadership, People Management, Workplace Standard and Ethics and Financial Stability.

To know more about our expectations of our suppliers, please go to Supplier Capabilities

We are accountable for the way we do business. In particular, we accept responsibility for the way our products are manufactured by our suppliers. By our actions we can – and should – improve the lives of workers who make our products. Our vision is for everyone in the Group and the supply chain to share a common set of values and to follow responsible business practices. As well as improving working conditions in suppliers’ factories, being responsible also means:
• Reducing the environmental impact of our operations
• Caring for the welfare and development of our employees
• Making a positive difference to people in the communities where we operate.
