Our approach to business growth is fueled by the belief that diversity—in all its forms—fosters creativity and accelerates innovation. We know that leveraging different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds generates unique ideas and makes our value chain stronger. To enable this work, we will continue to build a roster of suppliers who can actively support our business requirements, while also sharing our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.
What is Nike looking for?
While every business group at NIKE, Inc. has specific needs and requirements, we look for small and diverse-owned businesses—from marketing agencies and general contractors to professionals providing technology support—who can provide innovative, competitively priced goods and services, foster community and economic development and enhance our ability to deliver shareholder value.
How do I register my company?
Register your company in our Business Diversity & Inclusion Portal to help increase its visibility for potential opportunities to do business with us. The level of detail you’ll be asked to provide is based on corporate compliance requirements for the goods and/or services you supply to Nike.
What comes next?
A Nike contact (Procurement or Business group) will reach out to you if/when relevant project opportunities arise that match your company’s profile. While opportunities are ultimately awarded to suppliers based on their qualifications, we want to ensure our selection process is inclusive and that all suppliers have an opportunity to compete. If you are a new supplier to Nike, the contract onboarding process will begin in advance of project inception.
Resources
We rely on strong partnerships with a variety of national and international organizations, programs and initiatives in communities across the globe to help us uplift—and develop supplier relationships with—small and diverse brands, businesses and entrepreneurs.
