Chap.(3)- Nike Code of Ethics

Nike code of ethics for employees is called Inside the Lines. This defines the standards of conduct Nike expect from all their employees. Every year, Nike employees are required to verify that they have read and understand Inside the Lines. The company operates a global toll-free alert line for employees to report any suspected violations of their code of ethics. Anything bad reported concerns around accounting, auditing or internal control are sent to the Audit Committee of the Board. Nike also expect their suppliers to share their standards and to operate in a legal and ethical manner. While Inside the Lines covers the behavior of Nike employees, Nike has a Code of Conduct that covers contractors who manufacture Nike-branded products. It helps them to respect the rights of their employees, and to provide them with a safe and healthy work environment.
