Voices of a RE:GENERATION is a PUMA initiative highlighting young changemakers driving positive change in their communities. Through this platform, PUMA aims to inspire the next generation to support a more sustainable future and forms part of the brand’s wider missions to communicate sustainability in a transparent and digestible way.
Stitch + Spice is a short documentary captured at PUMA's supplier factories in Vietnam and Bangladesh featuring Luke, a food and nutrition vlogger, who shares meals and engages with garment workers, showcasing their lives, perspectives and cultures.
