Partner Profile Nike World Headquarters purchases renewable energy credits to cover 72 percent of its electricity consumption. This purchase helps Nike meet its goal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions 13 percent below 1998 levels by the end of 2005 from Nike-owned facilities and business travel activities. "Nike is making great strides in doing its part to clear the air and promote sustainable, low-impact energy sources,” said Jim Petsche, Director of Corporate Facilities. “We are continuing our commitment to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It's simply good, smart corporate citizenship."
