What Puma says and does about PFAS

Puma says it used fluorinated chemicals (PFCs) for water-repellent finishes on apparel and footwear until 2017. Since 2021 it has used bluesign-certified Gore-Tex membranes and finishes, which it describes as either completely PFC-free or free from PFCs of environmental concern, so not necessarily free of all of them. Its 2025 annual report says its environmental policy has no standalone chemical phase-out commitment.
