PUMA says the new packaging and distribution system
will reduce the paper used for shoeboxes by 65%
and carbon emissions by 10,000 tons per year.
It plans to make the remaining packaging materials
fully sustainable by 2015.

The major objectives PUMA has set out to achieve in this period include:
• 25% reduction of CO2, energy, water and waste in PUMA offices,
stores, warehouses and direct supplier factories.
• Paperless office policy through a 75% reduction and
offsetting initiatives for the remaining paper usage such as tree planting initiatives.
• 25% CO2 reduction through more efficient product transport solutions
by our logistic partners.
• Begin collaborating with our strategic suppliers and
logistic service providers to offset their own footprints in the long-term.
• Introduction of the PUMA Sustainability-Index (S-Index) standard
that serves as a benchmark for sustainable products and
communicates the products’ sustainable features to consumers.
• 50% of PUMA’s international collections will be manufactured
according to the PUMA S-Index standard by 2015,
using sustainable materials such as organic cotton,
Cotton Made in Africa or recycled polyester
as well as applying best practice production processes.
