Top Employer in 50 different countries and globally by Top Employers

Top Employers Institute has certified PUMA as a
Top Employer for the sixth time since 2020. The Top Employer
certification for its worldwide operations as well as 50 different
countries for the first time in 2025 reflects the consistent and
exceptional experience PUMA offers its employees in all regions and
subsidiaries.
“Being named a Top Employer in our entire global
organization and in 50 countries underscores our focus on creating a
consistent, outstanding working environment for our employees, no matter
where they are,” said Dietmar Knoess, Vice President People &
Organization at PUMA. “We will not stop here and take this result as an
inspiration to find new ways to make PUMA a fantastic place to work.”
The
Top Employer certification is based on a comprehensive survey carried
out by Top Employers Institute and reflects PUMA’s efforts to provide an
attractive workplace for its employees. The survey covers six HR
domains and 20 topics, including People Strategy, Work Environment,
Talent Acquisition, Learning, Diversity & Inclusion, and Wellbeing.
“By
achieving Enterprise Certification, PUMA not only ensures consistent
standards in employee experience, development, and well-being across all
regions but also cultivates a unified culture of engagement,
innovation, and performance,” said David Plink, CEO of Top Employers
Institute. “This achievement highlights the company’s unwavering
dedication to fostering an inclusive and exceptional workplace culture,
with people always at the heart of their success.”
Apart from
offering an attractive environment in state-of-the-art offices around
the world, PUMA aims to create an inclusive work culture that respects
diversity, promotes health and well-being, and encourages personal and
professional growth.

itself in filling many key leadership positions with its own talent and

hours, PUMA makes it easy for its employees to find the right
work-life-balance and gives them the opportunity for part-time work or
sabbaticals at different stages in their careers.
