"Working with a wide range of organizations and experts, NIKE continuously seeks to improve our approach to evaluating working conditions in our supply chain and working with our suppliers to enhance their capabilities. NIKE works with internal, external, and independent monitoring organizations to carry out audits and help in remediation and capability-building efforts. If we are provided evidence of an issue of non-compliance within one of our contract factories, we investigate it promptly. Where improvements are required, we seek to drive ownership by factory or facility management to identify and correct issues, and also improve systems to address root causes in order to prevent future reoccurrences.

 

"Through our ongoing assessment process, NIKE engages supplier groups to evaluate programs designed to ensure foreign migrant workers do not pay fees related to their employment, which is a violation of NIKE policy outlined in our Code of Conduct and Code Leadership Standards. When alerted to violations to the NIKE policy by external parties, we investigate and where applicable, collaborate with applicable stakeholders to drive remediation of the issues with the facility, including reimbursement of fees paid by workers found to be in violation of NIKE’s Employer Pays Principle."
