Nike's sustainability mission: step by step towards a healthy future
However, this Nike News is not the first sustainable measure by the sportswear giant. Rather, the new program is part of a big picture. Nike has been specializing in establishing innovative materials and production processes with as little environmental impact as possible for more than 2 decades. The company also launched the "Move To Zero" campaign in 2019 with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions and waste to zero.
The vision: to protect and maintain the environment in order to enable future generations to exploit its potential. Be it the first recyclable Nike shoe from over 30 years ago or the current program - Nike is increasingly committed to sustainability. Even if the company still has many starting points to holistically drive positive change, the new features are a step in the right direction.
