What do we mean by cleaner chemistry?

1. Make chemistry more visible and verify

chemical inventories.

Cleaner chemistry starts with greater visibility into the chemical we use. We are currently underway developing the Nike Verified

Chemical Footprint (Nike VCF) using newly available industry tools we helped create.

2. Characterize the concerns.

Cleaner chemistry means we strive to identify any substances of concern using the latest scientific data. Along with our internal

chemical assessment program, we collaborate with external organizations and use industry tools to understand whether a given

chemical might be a substance of concern.

3. Identify and adopt alternatives.

Cleaner chemistry means we work to substitute alternatives whenever possible and keep new substances of concern out of the supply chain. Finding cleaner, viable alternatives that elevate athlete performance is where the action is.
