This
paper explains that, while being exemplary on the domestic front in terms of
social and
environmental issues, its
labor practices are less than admirable. The author points out that Nike's many environmental and social projects demonstrate its
commitment not only to its shareholders but also to the community from which it was founded; Nike has
adopted the goal of
sustainability into many facets of the manufacturing and production of its products. The paper relates that, although Nike has adopted a so-called Code of Conduct concerning its labor practices, which is supposed to endorse the health and safety of all its workers, in real life situations, this dogma appears to be less than true as observed in its factories in Indonesia, Vietnam, Pakistan and China.
