Sustainability Governance and Management
Even the best strategy comes to nothing without the commitment,
people and processes to make it happen. Continuing to integrate
sustainability into our business, rather than layering it on top of
how NIKE, Inc. and our brands currently operate, will increase and
accelerate progress, drive scale and the proliferation of sustainable
innovation, and enable broad employee engagement.
At Nike, dedication to and accountability for sustainability begins at the
top. In 2001, we formed a Corporate Responsibility (CR) Committee as
part of our Board of Directors committee structure. The CR Committee
has oversight of environmental impact and sustainability issues, labor
practices and corporate responsibility issues in major business decisions.
