Nike Company

Nike’s Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability program resonates with the 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’s CSR and corporate governance programs center on providing a healthy and tolerant work
environment for all employees. To that end, the company invests in promoting a work environment that
celebrates diversity and inclusion. In 2020, Nike introduced two new CSR programs, their Juneteenth
learning initiative, and their Unconscious Bias Awareness training program to promote a greater
understanding of racial equality and social change. Throughout 2020-21, Nike laid out a five-year plan for
creating more diversity in their workforce, which included a target goal of 50% representation of women
and 35% representation of racial and ethnic minorities in their corporate workforce by 2025. In conjunction
with this initiative, Nike announced an investment of $125 million over the next five years to support
businesses committed to “leveling the playing field.”
In 2020, Nike allocated $4 million to support diversity and inclusion in communities throughout
North America through its Until We All Win program. Additionally, eight of Nike’s Employee Networks
donated $25,000 a year to nonprofit organizations focusing on promoting social equality, regardless of
race, gender, and sexual orientation.
As part of their community outreach program, Nike spent more than $89 million in 2020 to help
over 17 million kids around the world get active in sports and exercise. Nike also committed to training
nearly 100,000 coaches to help communities most in need.  
To encourage more gender inclusivity and equality, Nike invested over $100 million into their Girl
Effect program between 2015-2020 to improve the lives of tens of millions of girls in 20 countries
throughout Africa and Asia. The company also expanded its digital training tools to include the Coaching
Girls program which aims to make sports more fun and inclusive for girls through coach education and
leadership training.
Despite adopting a range of new environmental protocols to reduce environmental waste, Nike’s
carbon footprint remains unchanged from its 2015 baseline. This is largely attributed to a steady stream of
new footwear lines that require new materials. In addition, while the brand has set a science-based target
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, there is little evidence they are on track to meet their target of
operating entirely on renewable energy by 2025. There is also no clear indication that the company - which
relies heavily on trees and plants for their textiles - has a policy in place to address deforestation.
In addition to concerns surrounding their environmental impact, Nike’s labor practices continue to
be scrutinized for human rights violations. In 2020, The Washington Post reported that members of the
Uighur Muslim minority in China working for Nike were subjected to coerced working conditions and
ethno-religious discrimination. In response to this criticism, Nike issued a statement saying that while they
are “concerned about reports of forced labor, Nike does not source products from the XUAR [Xinjiang
Uyghur Autonomous Region].”
Nike has also been under fire recently for financially penalizing female athletes who become
pregnant while under contract. To address the controversy, Nike has since amended its policy, stated that
it will no longer pause or stop payment to pregnant athletes. Despite these efforts, the company continues
to be criticized for not acknowledging its past treatment of female athletes.

Monde Nissin Corporation


Various calamities such as volcanic eruptions and intense typhoons in 2021 caused destructive
effects such as land destruction, flash floods, and power outages in various parts of the country throughout
the year. While many homes and shelters leveled immediately, thousands of families lived without proper
housing, transportation, power, food, and water for weeks.
Monde Nissin provided support through various implementing partners in order to get their
products to evacuation centers and affected communities. Regular support was provided to the operations
of NGOs such as the Rise Against Hunger Philippines and Caritas Manila. Donations were made to GMA
Kapuso Foundation and ABSCBN Kapamilya Foundation for their relief operations after Typhoon Fabian
from July to August, and to Rise Against Hunger Philippines, the Foundation for Professional Training Inc.,
Juanito I. King Foundation in Cebu for relief to those affected by Typhoon Odette near the end of 2021.
