Nike Corporation Wins Top Billing for Sustainability Reporting

A more sustainable swoosh from Nike Corporation

We’ve talked about Nike’s green shoes and sustainable practices before.  Now, the investment advocacy group Ceres and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) has awarded the Nike Corporation top billing for its sustainability reporting.

Out of 98 entries from companies and organizations across North America, Nike won the top honors from the Ceres-ACCA Reporting Awards program.

“Corporations in the 21st Century need to have transparent and honest disclosure of their environmental and social impact.  The winners of the Ceres-ACCA reporting awards serve as best practice models for corporate sustainability reporting that we hope will lead to improved sustainability performance.”

Nike has been embracing a sustainable business model in recent years, including its “Considered Design” and it plans to do “more good,” for the environment, not only “less bad.”  This year, the company will be reducing toxins in their footwear and creating shoes that are recyclable.  Nike’s sustainability practices include across-the-board changes from sourcing to strategic decision-making.
