adidas is committed to being compliant with all tax regulations in all jurisdictions it operates in. We file the annual country-by-country report with the German tax authority and, where required, we inform tax authorities in other jurisdictions that the report has been filed in Germany. Pursuant to information sharing agreements/treaties, the German tax authority shares the reports with tax authorities in many other jurisdictions. Therefore, we are currently not publicly disclosing the country-by-country reporting.

Combined reporting of scope 1 and scope 2 carbon net emissions. The split is disclosed for selected corporate sustainability assessments, including our publically available submission to the Carbon Disclosure Project. Calculation of carbon net emissions is based on the reduction in overall energy consumption for adidas own sites. We use local emission factors and the data base of the GHG protocol/IEA (11/2020) in order to calculate the global warming potential of the energy consumption automatically. Carbon net emissions for adidas own sites totaled 26,765 tonnes CO₂e in 2020.
