adidas Group publishes global supplier list

Herzogenaurach, 6 December 2007 - In early 2007, the adidas Group published a question and answer booklet on the integration of the adidas and Reebok social compliance programmes. In that booklet, we pledged to finalise our Group-wide compliance data management system – that is, the Fair Factories Clearinghouse (FFC) – and achieve greater supply chain transparency.

We have met our target and as a result we are posting a global supplier list on our website. The list includes international export and local market factories as well as sewing subcontractors but excludes, for the time being, our licensees’ suppliers.
