move for the planet - one more move

2023 welcomed our new sustainability initiative, Move For The Planet, with 1.2 million participants coming together to create positive change by reducing plastic waste.

Utilizing the adidas Running app, we harnessed the collective power of movement across 34 different sports, including running, cycling, playing football etc. We pledged that for every 10 minutes of active movement recorded on the app, we would donate €1 to Common Goal. With over 173 million active minutes recorded, we were proud to hit our donation target of €1.5 million, all of which went towards educating communities on sustainability through sport. Move For The Planet provides us with the opportunity to come together to create change, and 2024 is no different. We’re continuing the momentum, this time supporting the places that allow us to play by inviting you to make one more move.

We’re continuing our pledge donate €1 to projects that provide education on sustainability and make sports facilities more resilient against extreme weather conditions – up to €1.5m. For more information, visit www.adidas.com/movefortheplanet_impact.

As a member of the adidas Runners community, you have the power to play a key role in our joint efforts. No matter where you are, you can support Move for the Planet via the adidas Running app.

Between the 10th & 22nd of May, for every 10 minutes of movement you log on the app, adidas will donate €1 to projects that provide education on sustainability and making sports facilities more resilient against extreme weather conditions such as heat waves and flooding – up to €1.5m.

Every sport on the adidas Running app is eligible, so sign up and move for the planet.

Let’s do one more lap for the places we play.

Join us in this year’s Move For The Planet.

WITH WOMEN WE RUN 2022: PARTNERSHIPS, PLEDGES AND PIVOTAL MOMENTS

At adidas Runners, the safety of women while running remains our steadfast commitment. 2022 saw the launch of With Women We Run — unarguably one of our most powerful initiatives to date. Working to end harassment and all forms of violence against women lies at the heart of the campaign to make running a sport that can be enjoyed safely by all. Already in the first year of its existence, a staggering 245 With Women We Run events were held around the world. Meanwhile, 120,000 adidas Running app users signed the White Ribbon pledge, thereby making a commitment to never carry out, excuse or remain silent about violence against women.
