PLAY WITH PURPOSE
Could changing the materials we use in sport make ending plastic waste a possibility? We believe that it can help accelerate towards that goal. We have a twenty-year track record of working towards sustainability and more recently have doubled down on a journey to seek out better solutions for high-performance materials that have minimal environmental compromise.
Our idea is to help End Plastic Waste by developing products that either: use recycled materials, are made to be remade, or are made with nature. We’re forging new ways forward in each of these lanes, working with a team of collaborators from our industry and beyond, setting the pace for the industry at-large.
When we say made with recycled materials we are speaking to our products that are made in part with recycled polyester or Parley Ocean Plastic - upcycled plastic waste intercepted on beaches and coastal communities, preventing it from polluting the oceans. Since 2015, we’ve created more than 30 million pairs of shoes with Parley Ocean Plastic, half of which were produced last year alone.

History of adidas Golf
In 1997, Adidas AG acquired the Salomon Group and its official corporate name was changed to Adidas-Salomon AG. With this acquisition Adidas also acquired the Taylormade Golf Company and Maxfli, which allowed them to compete with Nike Golf.
When you are already great, how do you become even better? You join forces with someone who compliments you and your strengths. In 2009 Adidas did just that, when they acquired the golf clothing company Ashworth, followed by the golf equipment company Adams Golf. For years, it made sense to start with the equipment and the athlete, and then apparel and footwear would come along for the ride. In 2017, with the divesture of TaylorMade, Ashworth and Adams Golf, adidas golf changed their strategy and focused on their core competencies in footwear and apparel. The successful delivery of their strategy has given adidas golf enhanced brand credibility as they lead the way in both technology and sustainability.
