How NIKE, Inc.’s Commitment to Progress Champions Women and Girls

What to know

  • NIKE, Inc.’s FY22 Impact Report represents the ambition of the entire company to move the world forward through sport.
  • In FY22, NIKE, Inc. continued to show strong progress against its 29 targets for 2025.
  • Across all aspects of NIKE, Inc.’s people-led targets, teams doubled down to ensure women and girls have equitable access to sport and opportunity for growth.


NIKE, Inc. teams are helping to create solutions to build a future where all athletes* — women and girls in particular — and the planet thrive. Our 2025 targets help hold us accountable to making a real difference. The FY22 Impact Report shares the progress we are making in all areas of our purpose:

People
In FY22, women represented 51 percent of Nike’s global corporate workforce, and industry-leading programs helped to further level the playing field by accelerating the careers of women from all walks of life. We believe equitable pay and representation empowers communities. We maintained 1:1 pay equity for Nike women globally and U.S. racial and ethnic minorities and continued to diversify leadership across the company. Beyond our own teams, in the last two fiscal years we’ve brought our commitment to life through a $777 million cumulative spend on diverse suppliers, including numerous women-led businesses.

Play
Through our investments and partnerships, we also helped drive significant positive change for girls and their communities. More than 375,000 girls accessed play and sport through our partners’ diverse programs, and we equipped more than 17,000 coaches with the resources to create more inclusive experiences for kids. In total, we invested $149 million — which represents 2.24 percent of our prior year’s pre-tax income — in communities around the world, with a focus on women, girls and our Black Community Commitment (BCC).

Planet
To enable the future of sport and help protect our collective playground, Nike teams brought to life and scaled game-changing solutions in FY22. We launched innovations such as Nike Forward, a material platform and method of make to reduce carbon emissions in apparel production. From years of stewarding renewable energy through onsite wind and solar, power purchase agreements, and renewable energy credits, we cut the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of our owned or operated facilities by nearly 40% from FY21 to FY22 and now run these facilities on 93% renewable electricity. And we continued to take the guesswork out of finding sustainability-minded sports gear by using 39 percent environmentally preferred materials in our products, reducing GHG emissions by more than 182,000 metric tons in the process.

While we’ve made significant strides forward, getting us closer to our 2025 targets, there is still more to do. We are in it for the long haul, committed to progress over perfection as we continue to create solutions, leverage our influence to serve athletes and — guided by our purpose — move the world forward through sport.
