"To more fully integrate our compliance and sustainability criteria into sourcing decisions, NIKE provides annual training to those with direct responsibility for supply chain management. The training advances enhanced understanding and compliance with our sustainability policies, our Code of Conduct and Code Leadership Standards, that include our expectations on ethical recruitment. The training curriculum includes a specific highlight on our requirements to prevent risks of forced labor.

NIKE frequently convenes supplier events, or learning communities, designed to share information on NIKE expectations, developments on local policies/legislation, and other sustainability and labor best practices, including those related to management of migrant workers, a challenge that is faced by many of our suppliers and vendors in countries where it is common to recruit workers cross-border. For example, in FY22 we collaborated with Issara Institute to deliver a training session for factories in Thailand on the current challenges for foreign migrant worker visa renewal during the pandemic. This training helps provide additional guidance for suppliers faced with the decision of sending workers back to Myanmar, a situation that puts workers at risk, or continuing to employ them, putting the supplier at legal risk.

NIKE is also partnering with the Responsible Labor Initiative (RLI) to deliver the Responsible Recruitment Due Diligence Toolkit training for all strategic Tier 2 suppliers in Taiwan. In FY22, 6-month post-training coaching and consultation program for these suppliers was completed. Post-training coaching and consultation provides direct support from RLI to identify gaps in recruitment systems, develop sustainable improvements plans and to prioritize these plans for implementation."
