Editor's Notes

  • #10 . Inspired by our heritage, we know that a profound understanding of the consumer and customer is essential to achieving this goal. To anticipate and respond to their needs, we continuously strive to create a culture of innovation, challenging ourselves to break with convention and embrace change. By harnessing this culture, we push the boundaries of products, services and processes to strengthen our competitiveness and maximise the Group’s operational and financial performance. This, in turn, will drive long-term value creation for our shareholders. To achieve this goal, we have made strategic choices and will prioritise our investments under our six key strategic pillars Becoming the global leader in the sporting goods industry depends upon the potential, dedication, knowledge and performance of our employees and the excellence of our leaders. Therefore, we foster a corporate culture of performance, passion, integrity and diversity, as we are convinced this is crucial to stimulate innovation, team spirit and engagement

  • #23 1)All company staff participate in the activity of "Adidas sports night" energetically on Thursdays to enjoy delight in sports. 2)Adidas employees come from different trades as well as different countries and regions. Being an international business, Adidas' nationality should be ignored. 3)Adidas employee consider performance as its own ability and contribution in order to get promoted. The main task of business strategy is to make staff could touch and feel that business culture is embodied in their working atmosphere.
