For this assignment I have chosen the company Nike. I picked Nike because I personally like the brand and always wore it. Nike ethically seems to have good morals and practices from the research I did. Nike is very big on equal opportunity and non-discrimination against any race, religion, or sex or anything else that may define you. They also believe in zero tolerance for harassment and any report would result in a timely mannered investigation and corrective action if violation is committed. Nike also believes in providing safe and healthy work environments and believes all of Nike should follow health laws and regulations. As far as their social responsibility goes Nike believes they are not only driven to do by law but also what’s expected of a leader. Nikes corporate social responsibility and sustainability program says that their company’s core belief that “sports can change the world for the better.” Nike leverages the unifying power of sports to promote its CSR agenda in three key areas: diversity and inclusion, community investment, and environmental sustainability. Nike has done good things like since 2021 had sustainability goals, with the aim of reducing carbon emissions and creating long lasting products that have a minimal impact on the environment. First came the sneakers and swimwear crafted from recycled waste plastics. They have focused heavily on creating, maintaining and exceeding ethical business practices among communities where their factories for production are located.  Nike has donated as well in addition to the investment from NIKE, Inc., Jordan Brand and Michael Jordan donated $100 million during the next 10 years. 

As far as recommendations go, I don’t really have any. Nike seems to have their goal, and everything set out. Nike in my opinion really values their employees, love to give back, and how the business conducts itself. They also seem to also care about the environment but still care about their products’ quality and high performance. Seeing how big Nike is feeling that they definitely do as much as they can from what I have seen. I believe any more practices would just be extra. Nike has shown efforts in many areas.
