Karen Parkin stepped down in June after a group of employees called for an investigation over her handling of racism at the company which she had described last year as"noise" only discussed in America.Rorsted, speaking at Adidas's annual shareholder meeting which was held online, was asked by a shareholder if sales had been affected by the complaints.
Rorsted said on Tuesday that employees had told him there were not enough equal opportunities for all at the company:"That is not acceptable. So it's a priority for us to make Adidas an even more diverse and inclusive company."Adidas has reopened four stores damaged during U.S. protests over the police killing of George Floyd and plans to reopen a fifth, Rorsted told the meeting.
