Social commitment: The adidas Group cooperates with charity organisations in order to improve the quality
of life for people by means of sport. Moreover, we support international humanitarian aid efforts, e.g. in
the wake of natural disasters, and we are committed through various projects worldwide to education,
science and humanitarian initiatives. Our employees also have a wide range of possibilities to participate in
social programmes. Through the adidas Fund, for example, they can become involved in charitable causes
around the world. Our website provides information on the various projects.
In 2015, we focused in particular on refugee aid, through the extensive donation of money and products to
refugee camps and through aid and integration programmes at our own locations. Following our ‘three-
pillar model’, we are committed to humanitarian aid, we collaborate closely with public authorities and
external partners as well as volunteers, and we also develop possibilities for work integration. Overall,
we contributed an amount exceeding half a million euros for refugee aid from various activities in 2015.
COMPLIANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT WITHIN THE ADIDAS GROUP
Our compliance management system is organisationally linked with the risk and opportunity management
system of the Group. As part of our global Fair Play concept, the compliance management system
establishes the organisational framework for Group-wide awareness of our internal rules and guidelines
and for the legally compliant conduct of our business. It underscores our strong commitment to ethical
and fair behaviour in our own organisation and also sets the parameters for how we deal with others. In
our competitive environment, continuous development of our compliance management system is of major
importance. In 2015, for example, we introduced a special web-based anti-bribery and corruption training
programme for our employees worldwide. Moreover, we improved internal reporting and the Compliance
responsibilities. In addition, we refined our evaluation methods for risks and opportunities and increased
our focus on long-term risks and opportunities. The risk and opportunity management system ensures
risk-aware, opportunity-oriented and informed actions in a dynamic business environment in order to
guarantee the competitiveness and sustainable success of the adidas Group.
