The Adidas story

We started in a washroom and conquered the world. And in between, we’ve scored big and sometimes struggled to reach our goals. We’ve done our best for the best. We’ve improved and grown. Looking ahead to the future, always remembering where we came from. This is our story. We started in a washroom and conquered the world.

On August 18, 1949, Adi Dassler started over again at the age of 49, registered the ‘Adi Dassler Adidas Sportschuhfabrik’, and set to work with 47 employees in the small town of Herzogenaurach. In the same year, he registered a shoe that included the registration of the soon-to-become-famous Adidas 3-Stripes.
Who would have thought that screw-in studs on lightweight football boots would help write history? When the German national football team faced the unbeatable Hungarians in the 1954 World Cup final, they won so much more than just a trophy. Their unbelievable victory would be heard around the world for decades to come. And it made Adidas and its founder a household name on football pitches everywhere.

After 15 years, Herbert Hainer passes the CEO baton to Kasper Rorsted in October 2016. Transitioning to Adidas after leading the German consumer goods company Henkel for eight years, the Dane is well received among employees, media, and investors alike. As fashion and sportswear industries continue to revolutionize with health and fitness merging into a lifestyle concept, Rorsted begins to steer the company to new successes in a digital era, building on Creating the New.
 

2021 marks the release of Adidas's next five-year strategic cycle. ‘Own the Game’ puts the consumer clearly at the center of everything, acknowledging the role they have in shaping industry trends: They strive to live active and healthy lives, they wish to blend sport and lifestyle, they are digital by default and sustainable by conviction. Own the Game will capture these consumer-driven opportunities and carve out new ones for their benefit.

 The successful delivery of this strategy will enhance brand credibility, elevate consumer experience and push the boundaries of sustainability.

While we raised the bar on environmental standards at our sites, in our supply chain, and for our products, the change is bigger than us. Sustainability is no longer a niche for specialized brands. It’s becoming an expected standard for how every company approaches its business. As a big company, we make a big impact in any action we take. This is why we speak up, not only to help our consumers understand why they should care but for our industry as well.

“The reason why I’m at Adidas is that as a big company, we do have power in our industry beyond the number of products we’re producing. We have a big voice, we sit on the right committees, we’re actively involved with them which gives us a better chance to shift the industry,” explains Erika Benz, Senior Manager Materials Footwear, Environmental Sustainability at Adidas.
