Throughout the year, we prioritized the health and safety of our partners, customers and employees and we rolled out vaccination programs for our employees in countries where this was possible. Given the quick rollout of the vaccination program and increasing vaccination rates in Southern Vietnam, the factories gradually reopened starting at the end of September. We tried to minimize production delays as much as possible and, where feasible, we shifted production to other sourcing locations. Because of this, production was suspended for about 10 weeks, and this affected approximately 15% of our global sourcing volumes. We successfully continued our strategy of working together with all of our partners to manage the short-term challenges, such as store and factory closures, without hindering our mid-term momentum.įactories for footwear, apparel and accessories in the south of Vietnam, one of our most important sourcing countries, were closed because of strict local lockdown measures. This forced us to react quickly to lockdowns and restrictions, especially in our supply chain.

However, the year was once again marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, which had different consequences in different countries around the world. 2021 was a year full of exceptional successes for PUMA’s athletes and teams and also an excellent year for PUMA’s business.
