With its ‘2011 Sustainability Progress Report – Performance Counts’, the adidas Group publicly reports for the 12th consecutive time about its efforts to be a sustainable business.

The word ‘progress’ is key to understanding the approach taken this year: by focusing on the performance along the way to its 2015 targets, the report is an assessment of the progress the Group has made towards becoming a more sustainable company. So the report takes a close look at the milestones set for 2011 and what the Group has done to achieve them.
