90 percent of Adidas games garments have been deemed sustainable.
100 percent of Adidas volunteer garments have been deemed sustainable.
Overall, the company has a record of 5% waste.
Adidas sets goals every few years that they try to reach. Their work and successes are published in the Sustainable Progress Report every few years. The last one was published in 2015.
I picked Adidas because they have been environmentally aware for a very long time and are very active when it comes to making their company as waste less as possible. They are also very transparent and trust worthy with their reports.
