Nike products' boost from bluesign link

This strategic partnership unlocks the potential for bluesign technologies’ industry-leading assessment tools to become accessible to materials suppliers, at an unprecedented scale and pace. 

Previously, to access these tools and data, a brand would have to take its supply chain through individual factory assessments. For an out-sourced global supply chain of Nike’s size, that would have taken a significant number of years and investment. 

The agreement involves opening up access to bluesign technologies’ key tools and data to an expanded supplier base at nominal cost.

bluesign technologies will provide Nike’s supply chain with access to two innovative tools – the bluesign’ bluefinder and the bluesign’ blueguide. The tools will be rolled out across NIKE’s global supply chain, which spans nearly 50 countries, more than 800 contracted factories, with hundreds of textile manufacturers supplying the factories making Nike products.
