Improving Performance
Factories that make footwear, apparel and sports equipment have a wide variety of environmental impacts, including their use of energy, water and diverse materials; the related creation of waste, greenhouse gases and other emissions and release of toxins. They have worked with contract factories for several years to improve their management of energy, water, waste, toxic materials and water discharges. Their committed to a goal of zero discharge of hazardous chemicals by their material vendors and contract manufacturers by 2020. Many of these environmental issues are also social issues as well. They expect the factories that make their products to comply with all legal and Nike requirements set out in their Code of Conduct and Code Leadership Standards and to be good towards the environment. As natural resources come under increasing pressure, a factory’s capability to use resources efficiently and reduce its environmental footprint is an indicator of its potential for long-term success, and at Nike this is what it's all about. Making product thats efficient, environmental and productive.
