Cut emissions in operations

Nike says it reduced absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions from its own operations by 69% in FY24 compared with its FY20 baseline. Scope 1 and 2 emissions are the pollution from a company’s direct operations and the energy it buys. The brand links this progress to wider climate work across its business. It also says 96% of electricity used in its global operations came from renewable electricity in FY24. These figures suggest Nike is focusing on the energy it controls most directly.

Lower supply chain emissions

Nike reports a 36% reduction in absolute Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing and transportation in FY24 compared with its FY20 baseline. Scope 3 emissions are the indirect emissions from a company’s wider supply chain, such as factories and shipping. The brand says it works across thousands of suppliers and partners to improve how products are made and delivered. It also says it is trying to reduce emissions by changing design, production, and logistics choices across the value chain.

Divert waste from landfill

Nike says 100% of operational waste from its strategic finished goods suppliers was diverted from landfill in FY24, and more than 60% of that waste was reused or recycled. This means the waste was kept out of landfill, with some materials given a second life. The brand describes this as part of a move toward a circular system, where products and materials stay in use for longer. It also says it is working to eliminate waste across its value chain.

Reduce water use

Nike says its material manufacturing suppliers cut freshwater consumption by more than 40% over the past decade. Freshwater is water taken from rivers, lakes, or groundwater. The brand says it is working to conserve water while also building resilience in the communities where it operates. This suggests a focus on both factory efficiency and local water stress. The company also groups water work with its wider sustainability efforts across design, production, and supply chains.

Use cleaner chemistry

Nike says it is eliminating hazardous chemicals and developing cleaner chemistry alternatives. It links this work to better product performance, improved material recyclability, and a stronger role for products in a circular economy, which is a system that tries to reuse and recycle materials instead of wasting them. The brand also points to a restricted substances list, which is a rulebook for chemicals it does not want in its products or supply chain. This shows a focus on safer materials and product design.
