Hong Kong CNN —Two employees have left Adidas as a result of an ongoing investigation by the German sportswear brand into allegations of corruption in China.
Chinese state media outlet Economic View reported Wednesday that both former employees had worked in marketing for Adidas China.
The allegations against Adidas executives were contained in an unsigned letter from people calling themselves employees of Adidas China.
Greater China — a region that encompasses mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan — accounts for 15% of the company’s sales.
In mainland China, Adidas is the second-largest international sportswear brand behind Nike (NKE).
