Certifications obtained by athletic footwear supplier sites1
We encourage our suppliers to implement health, safety and environmental management systems as the best way to internalise a process of continuous improvement against our standards. In 2007, our Group's supply base included 22 athletic footwear suppliers' factories worldwide certified in accordance with OHSAS 18000 and/or ISO 14001. These suppliers were responsible for the production of around 75% of our footwear sourcing volume.

Reducing VOCs in athletic footwear supplier factories
VOCs - volatile organic compounds - are found in solvents used in the manufacturing process. They can cause breathing difficulties and other health complaints. Our target is an average VOC emission of 20 grams/pair of shoes. The company's footwear suppliers have reduced VOC emissions from 140 grams/pair in 2000 to 20.3 grams/pair in 2007, which includes nearly all new adidas Group athletic footwear factories.
Freight types used to ship adidas products in 20071
Fuel used in transporting goods from where they are manufactured to the selling markets creates carbon dioxide emissions, which are a major contributor to global warming. We aim to minimise the environmental impact of transporting our goods by reducing our use of air freight, the form of transport that causes the greatest emissions of carbon dioxide. Compared to previous years, increased air and truck shipments in 2007 were partly caused by order re-allocations to meet delivery deadlines.
