AUCH KULINARISCH AUF DER ERFOLGSSPUR: DEUTSCHLANDS BESTER PIZZABÄCKER ARBEITET BEI PUMA

Das Sportunternehmen PUMA macht nicht nur auf dem Spielfeld eine gute Figur – auch kulinarisch spielt es in der ersten Liga mit.

So wurde Maurizio De Giacomo (39) in dieser Woche nicht nur deutscher Meister im Pizzabacken. Er überzeugte auch auf europäischer Ebene.

„Eine gute Pizza braucht vor allem Zeit und ganz viel Liebe“ sagt Maurizio De Giacomo, der seit 2015 als Koch und Pizzabäcker bei PUMA arbeitet. Sein Talent stellt er auch als Teamleiter sowie -koordinator bei der deutschen Pizzanationalmannschaft unter Beweis: „Ich habe die Titel für beide Teams geholt. Pizzabacken ist meine Leidenschaft, PUMA mein Zuhause.“

Mit seiner Pizza „Napoletana Moderna“ gewann er nicht nur die 10. Deutsche Meisterschaft der Pizzabäcker auf der Messe „Internorga“ in Hamburg. Er erreichte am darauffolgenden Tag zudem den dritten Platz bei der ersten Europäischen Pizzameisterschaft in Deutschland.

„Wir sind sehr stolz einen so talentierten Pizzabäcker in unserer PUMA-Familie zu haben“, sagt Dietmar Knoess, Global Director People & Organization bei PUMA. „Maurizio zeigt, dass man mit Leidenschaft und Engagement alles erreichen kann.“

Quotes from the event:

Maria Valdes said: “2023 is a great year for us - it’s our 75th year anniversary – and we truly believe
that track and field is the root of many sports. There are so many memorable moments we can look
back on where track and field really represented our brand. From Tommie Smith back in 1968 to the
numerous world records of Bolt just a couple of years ago. We hope to have more moments like this
that can help shape us for years to come – starting here in Budapest.”

Karsten Warholm said: “Confidence is something you build. Obviously, it's not a given. If it is, it's not
real. We prepare very well in training, and I think that is the secret to my confidence. My coach takes
good care of me and and the way we work, we always have control. And then of course when you go to
a World Championship, you never know what you can pull out of the hat.”

Marcell Jacobs said: “Maybe I had too many injuries in the last two years… I really tried to overcome
all of those problems. I'm the one who wants to be in a good shape, perfectly fit, and ready to face
this very important challenge at the World Championships in Budapest.“

Julien Alfred said: “It's been fantastic to be part of the Puma family. Puma is a great brand who have
paved the way for many of my idols and it feels great. And I really love the spikes as well!“

Shericka Jackson said: “I've been working hard and there is no pressure for me. I'm in good shape
and I'm going to show up, stay in my lane and focus on me.“

Rasheed Broadbell said: “It's really not a bad feeling [to not be the favourite], but a good thing,
because the attention is not on me, so it's not really much pressure… But whoever the eyes is on,
they have to ensure that they deliver. So for me, it's just keeping in my lane, stay focused and
deliver.“

Hansle Parchment said: “Usually everybody is going to the US for college, but at the last minute we
changed our minds to go to the University of the West Indies. I think that was a very good decision for
me, otherwise I would have been running every weekend in the US. I'm very happy that I made that
decision to stay in Jamaica.”

Exhale! PUMA and Cara Delevingne team up for more sustainable yoga collection

Sports company PUMA has teamed up with international actress, model and activist Cara Delevingne to create Exhale, a yoga collection made with more sustainable materials for which all unavoidable carbon emissions have been offset.

The collection, which is in its fourth season and consists of tops, tights and jackets, is made with more sustainable materials such as recycled or certified cotton and polyester. To offset unavoidable emissions that are created in the production process, PUMA has purchased carbon offset credits through First Climate in support of a project in Vietnam to build a biogas facility, which can help replace conventional fuels such as firewood and coal in rural areas.

“Yoga is the art of letting go but it is also about being conscious about the here and now,” said Cara Delevingne. “With this collection, PUMA and I also wanted to make conscious decisions about the materials we use.”

While sustainability has been the focus of the collection, Exhale does not compromise on the performance characteristics that are needed for a good workout. It uses PUMA’s highly functional dryCELL technology, which draws moisture away from the skin to keep you dry and comfortable.

At the same time, thoughtful design features, such as a stay-put fit for the tights, keep you looking well dressed, even in the most demanding yoga pose.

Between 2017 and 2021, PUMA reduced its own carbon emissions and those coming from its supply chain and the company is on track to meet its climate goals. Using more sustainable materials in its products and choosing renewable energy tariffs or buying renewable energy certificates for its stores, offices and warehouses is part of the company’s “Forever Better” sustainability strategy.

By 2025, PUMA wants to make nine out of ten products with more sustainable materials, such as certified polyester and cotton, which will help reduce the amount of water and chemicals used in the production process compared to conventional materials. The company also aims to increase the amount of recycled materials in its products, aiming for 75% recycled polyester by 2025.
