Nike's commitment to industry-leading transparency in its social responsibility reporting has led to the company being named the top U.S. company and one of the world's top 10 in the current SustainAbility Global Reporters Program ranking released.
"Nike's inclusion on the list signifies its leadership in corporate responsibility and clearly sets it apart as one the world's leading companies in sustainability reporting," said John Elkington, founder and chief entrepreneur at SustainAbility, the think tank and strategy consultancy that operates Global Reporters and produced the rankings in its "Tomorrow's Value" report.
"Similar to the other top reporters, Nike is embracing the idea that sustainability and reporting are about far more than mitigating risk and appeasing stakeholders, they are the very basis for entrepreneurship inside their company that will lead to strategic innovations and the building of new markets yet to come."
Nike plans to release its next report covering fiscal years 2005 and 2006 in the spring of 2007.
