Oh hi, David 👋 This week, our adidas Shanghai office welcomed a VIP guest...David Beckham. David chatted to our ///-team, sharing his journey with the brand, the story behind his latest Predator boot, and how his mindset shifted after transitioning from footballer player to FC owner. Our team also managed to snap a few selfies with the star. David also visited the Qibao High School alongside Zhang Linyan, one of China's top football players, to inspire the next generation of athletes. The young players joined a training session with their football icons, swapping perspectives on the beautiful game. Thanks David! We're proud to continue fostering the development of youth sports in China. #adidasfootball #inside3stripes

🎾 Another ace on campus!   The adidas World of Sports lived up to its name yet again when we welcomed Czech tennis pro Karolína Muchová to campus.   A few lucky employees had the chance to meet & greet the tennis ace. Karolína spoke about her favorite sports growing up, playing both handball and tennis. Spoiler alert: tennis eventually became her bigger passion and profession. She also shared her challenges and how she overcame a serious injury this year to come back stronger than ever, reaching the US Open semi-final on her return.    Karolína, you’re a true inspiration, and we'll be cheering you on during the upcoming season. 🏆👏   #inside3stripes #adidas

Forbes World's Top Companies for Women. We made the list. 📜 In 2024, we ranked 25th out of 400 companies worldwide, reflecting the work we're doing to bring greater inclusion and equity to our workplace. Last year, 40% of leadership positions were held by women, with a target to reach 50% by 2033. We're also proud to support our Employee Resource Groups – the Women's Network and the Gender Equity Network – with a focus on promoting gender balance in the workplace. How is the ranking created? Together with market research firm Statista, Forbes surveyed approximately 100,000 women working for multinational corporations across 37 countries. Participants were asked to recommend their employer to friends or family and to rate their employer on both general workplace practices and gender-specific issues. #inside3stripes #adidas
