Puma response

Sports  company  PUMA  has  been  made  aware  of   the  report  "Anti  Jeu"  by  Collectif  Ethique  sur l’étiquette,  a  French  member  of  the  Clean  Clothes   Campaign.  The  publication  states  that  sports brands  lack  a  commitment  to  build  long-­term   partnerships  with  suppliers  and  are  not  willing  to provide  means  to  improve  social  and  working   conditions.    

PUMA  offers  several  grievance  channels  to  the  workers  of  our  manufacturing  partners.  For example,  our  Code  of  Conduct  is  displayed  in  all  Tier  1  suppliers  worldwide  and  holds  the email  addresses  and  phone  numbers  of  our  compliance  team,  which  receives  and  processes  over  100   worker  complaints  each  year...

The  publication  also  mentions  that  suppliers  in  Vietnam  and  Indonesia  pay  wages  below  the minimum  wages.  PUMA  has  verified  the  wage  records  of  its  suppliers  in  Vietnam  and   Indonesia through  regular  audits.  We  are  not  aware  of  any  cases  where  a  PUMA   supplier  is  paying  less than  the  legal  minimum  wage  in  these  countries...
