As one of the first companies to quantify the cost of the environmental impact of its operations and supply chain, Puma leads the way in considering environmental and economic factors that are not taken into consideration from the point of view of a traditional profit and loss account.

The message from Puma fits perfectly with the focus on environmental and sustainability issues of the Leather and the Environment conference.
