Adidas Probes Allegations of Corruption in China Adidas
said it is investigating potential compliance violations in China after
receiving a letter alleging senior executives in the country received
millions of dollars in kickbacks from service providers.
The probe comes as the German sportswear company seeks to revive its fortunes in China as part of a broader effort to reinvigorate the brand globally.
Adidas
said Monday it received a letter flagging potential compliance
violations in China on June 7, and that it was now investigating the
matter with external legal counsel. A
letter circulating on Chinese social media accused Adidas executives in
China of receiving personal rebates from various marketing services
providers in the country. The authors of the letter claim to be longtime
Adidas employees in China.
“Adidas
takes allegations of possible compliance violations very seriously and
is clearly committed to complying with legal and internal regulations
and ethical standards in all markets where we operate,” a spokesperson
said.
The probe into the allegations was earlier reported by the Financial Times.
Shares in Adidas were down about 4% in early afternoon trading in Europe.
Adidas has faced a number of challenges in China in recent years, hurting its performance in what had been one of the company’s most important growth markets.
Extensive lockdowns and store closures during the pandemic led to significant sales declines.
Adidas’s position in the country was then weakened further in 2021 when it joined other Western companies, including H&M Hennes & Mauritz and Nike,
in pledging not to use cotton sourced from Xinjiang. U.S. and other
Western governments say authorities in the region have detained millions
of Uyghur and other minority people and subjected many of them to forced labor. Beijing has denied the allegations.
The German company’s stance on Xinjiang triggered a nationalist backlash against Adidas that has had a lasting impact on its sales in China.
Adidas, along with U.S. rival Nike, has also faced far greater competition from local newcomers such as Anta Sports Products and Li Ning, which are now taking a larger share of the Chinese sportswear market.
Last
year, Adidas’s sales in the region that includes China, Taiwan, Hong
Kong and Macau increased 8% on a currency-neutral basis to 3.19 billion
euros, equivalent to about $3.41 billion, accounting for roughly 15% of
the group’s total.
For
2024, Adidas has said it anticipates double-digit growth in underlying
sales in greater China while warning that momentum in the region has
been weaker than expected.

Overview:
The HR department plays a critical role in risk management strategy, education, and mitigation. When a risk situation has arisen within an organization, the HR department must respond and take action. Imagine that you have just been hired as an HR manager for a large corporation (fictitious or real). The executive team is worried about potential organizational risks within the company. They have asked you to create a risk management plan to mitigate organizational risk. In order to understand the process of how an organization responds to a risk situation, you will need to find two public cases of risk mitigation. In examining the two public cases, you will pay special attention to the legal, ethical, safety, environmental, cultural, political, and financial factors addressed by both. The risk management plan will showcase your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes: Analyze ethical and legal risks of complex human resource issues to ensure legal compliance and to mitigate risk.Predict the impact and costs of legal, safety, environmental, and financial risks on stakeholders.
Analyze societal, cultural, and political factors in order to make well-informed human resource decisions.
Evaluate the current trends related to workplace health, safety and security for their impact on corporate social responsibility.
Describe pertinent federal employment laws that are related to ethical challenges facing human resource professionals today.
Prepare:
Read the following Executive Summary by Ernst and Young Business Pulse 2013 The Ernst and Young report identifies the top risks and opportunities for executives to consider for their strategic plans. This report discusses many influences on business practices, such as society, culture, politics, health, safety and security. https://web.archive.org/web/20171112012920/http://www.ey.com/Publication/vwLUAssets/Business_Pulse_- _top_10_risks_and_opportunities/$FILE/Business%20pulse%202013.pdf
3. Executive Summary Project Phase I: Imagine your company is planning and strategizing for the future and that you have been asked by the executive team to brief them on the state of the risks and opportunities in the industry. Prepare a 3-page analysis of the Executive Summary by Ernst and Young Business Pulse 2013, along with other research. Your analysis will help the top executives create a comprehensive strategic plan that includes risks and opportunities that could impact employees and other stakeholders. Make sure your paper clearly addresses the following questions:
What are the top legal, safety, environmental, and financial risks and opportunities identified? • What situations are influenced by society, culture, politics, health, safety and security? Connect to Federal and State laws when appropriate.
In the global market, what are challenges businesses face when identifying risk for forecasting? This assignment covers the following areas and objectives:
Ethical and Legal Risks
Potential Impact
Trends • Employment Laws
