Nike Product Chemistry Approach Prescriptive: • Restrictions Proactive: • Internal/External Competition Collaborative: • AFIRM (apparel and footwear international RSL mgmt) •AAFA (american apparel and footwear assn) •GreenXchange Nike, Inc. Product Chemistry

What is the Nike RSL? Chemical Restrictions: – Legislated – Nike (safety/sustainability) Material Policies: – Green Chemistry Guidance – Antimicrobial – Scented Products – Nanotechnology – Animal Skins The RSL applies to: Online – publicly available – Every material and every product – Testing is a part of verification Nike, Inc.
