Nike, Inc.

Nike Responsibility NIKE, Inc. shares the widely-held view that climate change is a serious issue requiring immediate and meaningful action across government, industry, consumers and society. Nike, Inc. has made cutting greenhouse gas emissions across our operations, incorporating sustainability into the design of our products and reducing our overall environmental footprint a cornerstone of our sustainability efforts.

To this end, Nike takes seriously the issue of deforestation in the Amazon basin. We understand how important rainforests are to health of the planet and the implications deforestation has on climate change and global warming.

Nike has set clear goals to reduce our own environmental footprint and we continue to act to uphold those goals in our supply chain. The below policy sets forth Nike’s requirements for transparency and traceability for Brazilian leather supplied for Nike products.

In addition, Nike believes this is also a broader supply chain issue, requiring the involvement of all stakeholders to effect significant positive change. Nike will continue to work with the industry’s Leather Working Group, Greenpeace and other stakeholders to address this issue across the supply chain and, moving forward, we will also require all suppliers of leather for Nike product to join the Leather Working Group by December 2009.
