PRODUCT SAFETY We never compromise on the quality of our products Consumers worldwide trust us to deliver products that are innovative, inspiring and safe. We are committed to high standards of consumer and environmental safety for all our products and packaging. We do not take shortcuts that could compromise the quality or safety of any of our products. However, if you have a concern regarding product safety, immediately report it – and encourage others to do the same. In addition to maintaining our values, there are many laws we must follow. We adhere to safety, health, environmental protection and labeling requirements for products in compliance with all applicable laws. And we work with the factories that make Nike products to meet our standards for compliance, health, safety and quality. As part of this work, we regularly review contracted factories to assess their ability to meet our high standards. A test we perform on a product is repeated further down the production line. Why not skip the first test — wouldn’t that speed up delivery? Skipping a required test is never OK. If you have ideas for improving efficiency, it’s great to share them. But unless the process is evaluated and modified, it’s critical to complete every step, as required, to make sure we’re delivering a safe, high-quality product every time. Can I source promotional items from vendors other than those approved or preferred by Nike’s procurement and product safety teams? It depends. Certain products, like promotional item orders, require special approval from the Procurement and Product Safety teams. Reach out for help if you aren’t sure. WHAT IF...?
