A handshake between Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight sealed an agreement, founded a company and signaled the start of a revolution. It also became the foundation for how we conduct business - with integrity and a commitment to the highest ethical standards.

Thirty years after that handshake Nike maintains the very same integrity fundamental to our commitment to bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world. Nike's Code of Business Conduct & Ethics is a reflection of that commitment and serves to formalize the principles under which we operate.

The Board of Directors of NIKE, Inc. approved amendments to update the Company’s Code of Ethics, which became effective on March 30, 2009. The revised Code of Ethics, which includes amendments to Equal Opportunity/Harassment; Safeguarding of Assets; Gifts, Gratuities, and other Payments; Conflict of Interest; No Retaliation; and Reporting Concerns, can be viewed above.
