Anta 2025 ESG Report: Over 100 Million Sustainable Products, MSCI Rating Upgraded to AA

```

On June 5th, World Environment Day, Anta released its 2025 ESG report at China’s first sustainable court created from recycled waste tennis balls. This marks the 11th consecutive year that Anta has released an ESG report.

In 2025, Anta Group’s total Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 63.3% year-on-year; solar-powered electricity self-consumption at self-operated factories and logistics centers increased by 74.2% year-on-year; the proportion of sustainable products surpassed 38%, with more than 100 million sustainable products launched over the year.

In 2025, Anta Group’s seven brands completed full lifecycle carbon footprint assessments for 11 products, nearly 430,000 items, including five carbon-neutral certified products.

For example, Anta and Donghua University jointly released China’s first domestically developed, mass-produced high-performance fluorine-free waterproof and breathable material, the “Fluorine-Free Anta Membrane”; the ANTA ZERO Earth Day Storm Armor jacket uses carbon capture technology and fluorine-free Anta membrane; the MACH 5 running shoes reduced carbon emissions by 36.3% compared to the previous generation.

Brands such as FILA, DESCENTE, and KOLON SPORT have also iterated products around materials like biodegradable polyester fiber, masterbatch coloring, and post-consumer recycled polyester fiber.

For materials and packaging, Anta Group’s footwear and apparel accessories use over 40.6% sustainable raw materials, and sustainable packaging approaches 46% of total packaging.

The down materials used by FILA, DESCENTE, and KOLON SPORT are 100% RDS certified, and nearly 100% of their leather comes from suppliers with LWG Gold certification.

For sports footwear and apparel companies, the challenges of emissions reduction often lie not only in self-operated processes, but also in the systems of raw materials, production, logistics, packaging, and suppliers.

In 2025, Anta completed comprehensive ESG audits of both first-tier and second-tier suppliers, steadily improving overall compliance levels, with over 88% of suppliers rated as “good” or above. At the same time, more than 130 suppliers have adopted clean and renewable energy.

ESG audits, the proportion of sustainable materials, and the introduction of supplier clean energy are essentially extensions of supply chain management capability. They relate to both cost and efficiency, as well as global market access and evaluation by international capital markets.

In 2025, Anta became the first sports goods company in China to obtain an independent assurance report from one of the Big Four accounting firms on Scope 1, Scope 2, and partial Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions; MSCI ESG rating has risen four levels in three years to AA, the highest among Chinese sports goods companies; it also received the top “A” grade in CDP climate change performance, and was included in S&P Global’s “Sustainable Yearbook” for the first time.

According to Anta’s “1+3+5” sustainable strategic blueprint, the group aims for carbon neutrality by 2050; by 2030, achieve net-zero carbon emissions at self-operated facilities, zero landfill of waste from self-owned production, zero use of virgin plastics in operations, and push five metrics—sustainable products, sustainable raw materials, sustainable packaging, clean-energy transport equipment, renewable energy by strategic partners—to reach 50%.

For a sports brand group entering a multi-brand and globalized stage, sustainable development is no longer just a corporate image project, but a fundamental capability supporting long-term business, supply chain management, and global expansion.

This is also a key lesson Anta must master as it moves towards becoming a “world-leading multi-brand sports goods group.”
