Dear Senators Vitter and Udall:
Nike applauds your bipartisan efforts to reform the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
Reforming this outdated regulatory framework will allow for continued growth and innovation
at Nike and in the U.S. economy.
Nike is one of the worlds most innovative brands and a proven growth company employing
more than 26,000 people in the United States. We are committed to manufacturing Nike
products in ways that protect workers, consumers and the environmentwhile delivering the
high quality and performance for which Nike is known. One aspect of this is our goal to
responsibly manage, reduce the use of or eliminate hazardous chemicals in our supply chain. To
accomplish this, we employ green chemistry tools and strategies which guide our designers,
vendors and contract factories in the responsible production of our product.
Nike greatly appreciates your bipartisan work on this legislation and stands ready to assist you
in achieving final legislation that continues to draw broad support.
Sincerely,

Hannah Jones
Chief Sustainability Officer & VP of Innovation Accelerator
