PUMA erhält Bestnote von CDP für Transparenz bei Klimazielen

Das Sportunternehmen PUMA hat die bestmögliche Note für die Transparenz und die Erfolge seiner Klimaziele vor der gemeinnützigen Organisation CDP erhalten, die die Nachhaltigkeit von Unternehmen analysiert.

Im diesjährigen Ranking hat CDP fast 15,000 Firmen analysiert und Noten von A bis D- verteilt. Analysiert wurden die Vollständigkeit der veröffentlichten Daten, das Management von Umweltrisiken und wie Unternehmen eine führende Rolle bei der Nachhaltigkeit einnehmen, etwa durch das Festlegen ehrgeiziger und aussagekräftiger Ziele.

PUMA gehört zu einer kleinen Gruppe von Unternehmen, die für ihre Klimaziele die Bestnote A erhalten haben.
„Es freut uns, zum ersten Mal auf der A-List von CDP zu stehen“, sagte Stefan Seidel, Head of Corporate Sustainability. „Mit unserem wissenschaftsbasierten Klimaziel haben wir gezeigt, wie der Kampf gegen den Klimawandel ein wichtiger Teil unserer Strategie ist und wir arbeiten mit unseren Partnern daran, in unserer Industrie weniger Kohlenstoff auszustoßen.“


In diesem Jahr hatte PUMA bereits bekannt gegeben, dass es mit seinen Klimazielen auf Kurs ist: Von 2017 bis 2021 fielen die direkten CO2-Emissionen des Unternehmens um 88 % und die aus seiner Lieferkette um 12 %, obwohl der Umsatz in diesem Zeitraum gestiegen war.

„Die Unternehmen auf der A-List von CDP zeigen, dass sie ihrer Zeit voraus sind und in ihrer gesamten Wertschöpfungskette klar handeln, um Emissionen zu reduzieren und die Umweltbelastung zu senken.“, sagte Maxfield Weiss, Executive Director bei CDP Europe. „Das ist die Transparenz und das Handeln, das wir in der gesamten Wirtschaft brauchen, um den Umweltkollaps zu verhindern.“


CDP ist eine gemeinnützige Organisation, die ein weltweites Informationssystem der Umweltkennzahlen von Unternehmen, Städten, Staaten und Regionen ins Leben gerufen hat. Die Organisation leistete Pionierarbeit bei der Nutzung von Kapitalmärkten und der Beschaffungskette, um Unternehmen zu motivieren, ihre Umweltkennzahlen offenzulegen, Emissionen zu reduzieren, Wasserressourcen zu sichern und Wälder zu schützen.

PUMA takes its “Forever Faster” spirit to the World Athletics Championships with strong athletes and products

Sports company PUMA will outfit 12 federations and several medal contenders at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, Oregon, USA, and provide them with its latest Nitro technology, so they can perform at their best.

Ever since its foundation in 1948, it has been the company’s philosophy to provide the fastest athletes with the fastest products, an attitude summarized in the brand’s motto “Forever Faster.”

In Eugene, individual PUMA athletes, performing in PUMA’s footwear technology, include 400m hurdles world-record holder Karsten Warholm, pole vault world-record holder Armand "Mondo" Duplantis, triple Olympic medalist Andre De Grasse, Ukrainian indoor high-jump world champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh, triple jumpers Patricia Marmona and Will Claye and many more.

The athletics federations of Australia, the Bahamas, Barbados, Brazil, the British Virgin Islands, Cuba, Jamaica, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Switzerland and Trinidad and Tobago will all perform in PUMA apparel.

“Track and field is sports and athleticism in its purest form and embedded in the very core of PUMA,” said PUMA CEO Bjørn Gulden. “We are proud that many world records were set in our shoes and we are looking to our athletes writing the next chapter in sports history in Eugene.”

Current world records in PUMA shoes are triple jump (Jonathan Edwards, 1995), 1,000m (Noah Ngeny, 1999), 3,000m Steeplechase (Saif Saaeed Shaheen, 2004), 100m and 200m (Usain Bolt, 2009), 400m hurdles (Karsten Warholm, 2021), and pole vault (Mondo Duplantis, 2022).

PUMA heads to Eugene with improved versions of its successful evoSPEED NITRO spikes, making them even lighter and more competitive. For Norwegian hurdler and world-record holder Karsten Warholm, PUMA created the ultimate hurdles shoe, the evoSPEED Naio NITRO.

There are also improved versions of the gold-medal-winning PUMA evoSPEED Nitro Elite and several new products for long-distance runners. The evoSPEED Distance Nitro Elite+ 2 spike uses PUMA’s proprietary NITRO foam and a PWRPLATE for exceptional energy return and is aimed at events ranging from 800m to 10,000m.

PUMA’s road racing athletes can choose from the DEVIATE NITRO ELITE 2, which is even lighter than its predecessors and also features a new last, or the futuristic and aggressively designed FAST-R NITRO Elite, which uses NITRO Elite technology and a PWRPLATE to support an efficient run.

PUMA’S FANDOM COLLECTION CAPTURES VIBRANT SPIRIT OF SPORTS FANS AROUND THE GLOBE

With the drop of its latest Fandom Collection, PUMA celebrates the vibrant fan culture of Accra, Ghana and showcases what football means to a new generation of fans everywhere.

To truly honor the inspiration for this collection – the fans themselves – PUMA accompanied Ghanaian football star Mohammed Kudus to his hometown of Accra, Ghana to shoot the Fandom campaign on location.

The resulting imagery features real fans and players against the colorful backdrop of their city and captures the unbridled energy that explodes when passionate individuals are united by sport. 

The Fandom Collection is as bold and bright as the new generation of football fans it pays tribute to. On the apparel side, tees in vibrant, off-beat colors feature all-over prints that catch the eye. Sweat and track suits range from essential black and grey styles to the edgier contrasting color blocks. But the signature detail that embodies the larger-than-life spirit of this collection is the oversized PUMA logo leaping off every item.

 

The footwear collection brings in the same fresh greens, pinks, and lavenders as the apparel, offering a fun new take on timeless silhouettes such as the Suede, CA Pro, Rider FV, and TRC Blaze. Overall, from its strategic pops of color to its splashy graphics, the Fandom collection has something for everyone, from adults to kids. Combining classic PUMA design with the flair and technology of today, these statement pieces are sure to become closet staples. 

 

Mohammed Kudus, who plays for Ghana’s national football team as well as Ajax, invited PUMA to see                                                     

Accra through his eyes for the Fandom shoot. The project came to life as an origin story of sorts, a direct
portal to the places that played a significant role in his sports journey and continue to represent the fan
lifestyle in his hometown.

HOW YOU PLAY IS WHAT YOU ARE: FEARLESS. PUMA LAUNCHES THE FEARLESS PACK

The new Fearless Pack features the new ULTRA and the FUTURE 1.4 in red-hot editions

PUMA Football has today launched their Generation Fearless campaign featuring the new ULTRA and the FUTURE 1.4 football boots in both Unisex and Women’s fit, ready for the winter fixtures and the World Cup.

Generation Fearless is capable of anything. Being fearless is all about being yourself, backing yourself, and staying loyal to your own style, philosophy, and freedom. When you’re fearless, you see nothing but potential in every moment, every action, be it the play you make, the clothes you wear, or the track you write. Whatever you do, do you. Welcome to Generation Fearless.

Each player has their own story to tell. In the new Generation Fearless film, each player tells their Fearless story. Whether it is a fearless mindset or fearless performance, the PUMA Fam gives insight into their mentality and what makes them fearless.

How you play is what you are: FEARLESS. With their sleek silhouettes, latest technology, innovation, and audacious color updates, the new ULTRA and FUTURE football boots are here to remind you that no play is too outrageous. The Fearless Pack will be worn by some of the most fearless players in the world: Neymar Jr., Kingsley Coman, Fridolina Rolfö, Sara Björk, Christian Pulisic, Antony, Nikita Parris and Memphis Depay.

The next generation ULTRA Fearless edition turns seconds into records by fusing the new ultra-lightweight woven upper with a redesigned soleplate tooling for an explosive turn of speed. The gravity defying ULTRAWEAVE technology is PUMA’s lightest and most durable material and has been reinforced with the all-new PWRPRINT technology to provide ultimate stability and support, keeping your foot locked in for explosive straight-line speed.

 

The ULTRA has been engineered to change the game with explosive speed by giving you the edge that can be the difference between winning or losing. First or last. PUMA’s special ULTRAWEAVE brand technology has been optimized and integrated into football boots for the first time. The material has also been enhanced with a TPU skin to provide incredible durability at minimum weight.

Another first is the 5-D PWRPRINT technology, placed in key strategic areas of the boot. The cross-divisional innovation provides micro-level reinforcement for optimal lockdown and support, whilst maintaining all of the boot’s lightweight properties. The ULTRA also features an all-new soleplate constructed from a dual-density SPEEDPLATE outsole for next-level traction. The result is a more explosive plate and a more reactive toe box that provides added propulsion and energy transfer when going from 0 to fast.

 

More adaptive and comfortable than ever, the FUTURE Fearless edition is all about future innovation and pushing the boundaries of technology for players who shape the game to their vision and skill. With the FUTURE you don’t have to lace up to lock in. The second-generation FUZIONFIT+ technology adapts to the shape of your foot to give you the perfect balance of support and flexibility in each of the key zones, ensuring optimal fit and performance, with or without laces.

The adaptive compression technology perfectly adjusts to the contours of each foot. Paired with a lightweight Nano Grip sockliner insole, the technology minimizes foot slippage inside the boot, allowing you to maintain power transfer for explosive multi-directional movements.

The FUTURE features Advanced Creator Zones that are engineered to enhance ball grip and provide softness in the forefoot, which is key for optimal control and touch when dribbling, passing, and finishing.

The Dynamic Motion System outsole is designed for optimal traction. The super lightweight PEBA tooling system, with its eye-catching soleplate reduces weight and provides a solid base to generate devastating accelerations, movements, and skills in all directions.

Be Fearless with the new ULTRA and FUTURE 1.4 Fearless editions in Unisex and Women’s fit, available from October 7th at PUMA.com, PUMA stores and at leading football retailers worldwide.

“Greatness is doing it consistently “

PUMA Ambassador and German ice hockey star Leon Draisaitl shares his motivation and goals in PUMA’s “Only See Great” campaign

German ice hockey star Leon Draisaitl spoke about his motivation to keep performing at the highest level in a video interview with sports company PUMA, ahead of the new NHL season.

After winning the pre-game with his team, Leon Draisaitl, who was named most valuable player in 2020, is more than ready to rock the upcoming season starting with the first game October 13th.

“Individual awards are always great. You know, they show you that your hard work has paid off. But I’m in a team sport, right? So, winning the ultimate trophy as a team is more important at the end of the day.”

With the ‘Only See Great’ campaign, PUMA explores the career path of its brand ambassadors, as they talk about their own paths to greatness, listening to their hearts, and finding a vision that no one else can see.

 

After reaching the semi-finals with his team last season, Leon is now aiming for the finals: “I hope that we can take the next step next season. It was a great run, obviously, when you get to that point you want to win. But we did run into a team that was better than us. But hopefully next season we’re going to be that team.”

Despite a serious injury, Draisaitl fought through the last games of the season. He had to change his mindset, but his motivation is stronger than ever, he said: “Greatness is consistency. So, I’m preparing for next season like I do for any other season and to me it’s important to do it all over again. You know, show people that I’m capable of being at the top of my game every single year every night”, Leon says.

The idea for PUMA’s “Only See Great” campaign was inspired by cultural icon, entrepreneur and philanthropist Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter who first said: “I only see great. I don’t see good. I don’t see compromise. We should always strive to make something great, something that will last.”

PUMA Launches First Collaboration with Memphis Depay Clothing’s Blind and Deaf To The World Label

PUMA and Memphis Depay have today launched their first collection in partnership with Memphis’ BADTTW clothing label – the premium sublabel of Memphis Depay Clothing (MDC).

Not only has he been making waves on the pitch, but Memphis also takes his creative spirit and infuses his style into PUMA’s iconic T7 inspired t-shirts, jackets, and track pants. The collection is a fresh new take on classic styles featuring gender neutral colors.

The collection is a representation of Memphis’ love for fashion and passion for helping the next generation. The capsule utilizes blue wash and pristine color tones throughout the ultra-slick garments.

“I love to express myself and be creative with what I wear. I love that PUMA gives me the platform to be creative and let me do my thing, “said Memphis Depay. “They have given me creative freedom on the iconic T7 tracksuit, which to me is a real honor knowing so many legends have worn it. I love what PUMA brings to the pitch, but a special part of our relationship is being able to work on passion projects outside of football. The BADTTW logo connects with me on many levels: fingers in both ears when I score. Blind and deaf to the world. It strengthens my focus and makes me stronger. I want my brand to convey that. This is the start of numerous exciting projects I have planned with PUMA.”

 

The PUMA x BADTTW collection is available from December 21st at 9:00am CET at PUMA.com, PUMA stores and at specialist retailers worldwide.
