Peter Waeber, bluesign technologies CEO, credits Nike with challenging bluesign to evolve its business model to meet the scale required by the global footwear and apparel brand. “Nike was persistent with us in working to find a scalable solution for a supply chain as large as theirs.

"By leveraging the bluesign system, Nike has powerful tools at hand to meet and exceed the demands of its customers. With the rollout of a positive list of textile chemicals for its broad supplier base, Nike can support its supply chain to improve chemical sourcing and deliver positive environmental and consumer safety benefits.”
