Community Affairs

Community affairs statistics1
In 2008, the adidas Group again received a number of donation requests worldwide. We supported many of them through product donation. 2008 observed a considerable increase in employee volunteering hours which derives from activities organised by the Adi Dassler Fund. The decrease in product donation is related to a reduced stock of available sample products as well as products assigned to big sport events.
