Strategy Information

With sport playing an increasingly important role in more and more people’s lives, both on and off the field of play, we operate in a highly attractive industry. Based on the authenticity of the adidas brand and our constant efforts to understand our consumers’ needs, we aim at capitalizing on the acceleration of favorable long-term structural trends by pushing the boundaries of products, experiences, and services.

Since the creation and launch of our ‘Own the Game’ strategy, the economic and political environment we operate in has significantly changed. Macroeconomic challenges as well as geopolitical tensions have had an adverse impact on our business, our consumers, and business partners. Paving the way for a restart, Bjørn Gulden joined adidas as new CEO in January 2023. In this context, we are currently conducting a thorough strategic review, which also includes the financial ambition for 2025. We will provide an update on the outcome of this review in the course of the second half of 2023 and, in the meantime, continue to diligently execute our functional priorities.
