Entity-specific Information
Water-consumption-related metrics
In 2024, Tier 2 suppliers with water-intensive production facilities achieved a 34.5% (2023: 32.9%) reduction in water intensity (m3/total product output value in US $), compared to the 2017 baseline. The water intensity is calculated as the volume of water used in a specific facility (in cubic meters) per product output value (in US dollars). Data covers a twelve-month period (from January to December) and is reported by each supplier directly to the adidas system and is also validated by a third-party auditor before we use it for the KPI calculation. The metric was developed considering the applicable requirements and standards relate to water, baseline assessments and industry best practices.
