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.

Our People, Learning

 

Employees are offered a wide variety of learning and development opportunities that build on their strengths, grow their skills and help them to achieve their best. Our highest priority is to ensure employees are not only constantly improving their performance but also learning to support their future careers within our company.

In 2021, we made increasing use of virtual capabilities not only in the delivery of learning content, but also in its development. We have developed and launched a new virtual learning creation that allows rapid design, quick implementation, and delivery of content at scale within a short period of time. With this approach, we were for example able to launch our ‘Essentials – Think and Act Sustainably’ program, resulting in a registration of more than 4,000 employees in 2021.
