In 2008, the Swiss Ratings Agency SAM (Sustainable Asset Management) confirmed PUMA’s place in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) once again. PUMA has been a member of the DSJI since 2006. Only those companies which have successfully passed a stringent test assessing their sustainable activities by the independent ratings agency are accepted. SAM also ranked PUMA as the “market leader” in 2007 and 2008 and was awarded a Silver Medal for our sustainability-related accomplishments meaning that PUMA ranked second place in the industry ranking by SAM.
