Nike has a mission to unite the world through sport to create a healthy planet, active communities, and an equal playing field for all. They do this by creating groundbreaking sports innovations, making their products more sustainable, and building a diverse team.
‘To protect the planet, we don’t wait for solutions, we create them’, Nike is aiming for their future to be zero carbon and zero waste. They founded the Move To Zero project as a way to become a more sustainable company and reduce their emissions by reusing existing plastics, yarns, and textiles. For their products, they also use recycled polyester, sustainable cotton, and recycled nylon. Nike is working on a project called ‘Growing Together’ where they have teamed up with WeForest to support local communities in Brazil and Ethiopia by planting and growing more trees, to reach the next milestone in their Move to Zero journey. The company focuses on circularity ( with the ‘Circularity: Guiding the Future of Design’ project), to create products that last longer and are designed with the end in mind. This guide shares principles that support a universal call to action for the fashion industry. Nike states that we must all come together to have a more positive impact on our planet.
