CR MANAGEMENT AT THE BOARD LEVEL
Over time, we’ve moved from viewing corporate responsibility as a necessity for managing risk to seeing it as an opportunity to create value for our business and innovate for a better world. To help achieve our own goals and priorities, NIKE, Inc. uses a robust corporate responsibility reporting process. Reporting pushes us to share information about our sustainability commitments and then measure and make public our progress toward meeting those commitments.
Through reporting, we’ve come to better understand and address our environmental footprint, especially our use of water, our creation and reuse of waste and the toxicity of materials and processes used to make our products. Reporting also requires us to be transparent about the impact we have on our contract factory workforce. In preparing our reports, we are listening and responding to stakeholders to provide a clear picture of our aims and progress in incorporating responsible practices into our operations.
