What Adidas says and does about PFAS
Adidas says it is committed to being more than 99% PFAS-free and lists PFAS among the restricted substances in its policy. It also disclosed that a supplier used PFAS-containing paint on some zipper components in 2023. We did not find a PFAS statement covering its insoles or golf products specifically.
