"Nike was one of just 13 employers to receive a top score on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index in 2002, demonstrating its commitment to workplace inclusion."
"Despite facing a gender discrimination lawsuit in 2018, Nike took significant steps by ousting male employees involved and awarding raises to over 7,000 employees after an internal pay equity audit."
"In the wake of George Floyd's murder, Nike pledged to increase the number of women in leadership roles and boost racial and ethnic minorities to 35% across its workforce."
"Nike's senior leadership participated in a six-week certificate program led by diversity consultant Alvin Tillery, training 900 global vice presidents in DEI practices."
Nike has been recognized for its progressive stance on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) since 2002, consistently scoring high on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index. The company supported the Employment Non-Discrimination Act before the Supreme Court's ruling on LGBTQ+ protections. However, it faced a gender discrimination lawsuit in 2018, leading to internal changes and pay equity audits. In response to racial equity demands, Nike committed to increasing women in leadership and racial minorities in its workforce, linking executive pay to DEI progress and training its leadership in DEI practices.
