Respuesta de Puma

"While PUMA does not see itself in a position to determine which wage level would be sufficient to provide a “living wage” in over 50 sourcing countries, many of our suppliers already pay on average wages which are well above the minimum wages set by national law. PUMA announced in its 2008 Annual Shareholders Meeting that we increased the prices paid out to strategic suppliers to cover inflationary pressures in some sourcing countries. In turn, some of our Strategic Partners have granted seniority pay in recognition for the workers’ length of service. Some have provided additional cost of living and other allowances and bonuses in recognition of the increased cost of living for workers. A number of these arrangements were accomplished through the enterprise-level collective bargaining process."
