Individual Assignment — Sustainability Memo (Nike Inc.) — 1,800–2,200 words Subject: University individual assignment. Memo format addressed to Nike's CFO. Academic writing, well cited, professional tone. Background you need to know: This is for a course called Sustainable Accounting and Control . In our group assignment (Part I Section 1.4), we already analysed Nike's claim: "Since FY2020, we have cut emissions across our value chain by 29%." The individual assignment must use a different Nike sustainability claim. Suggested claim to analyse (you choose one): Nike's claim that 96% of owned-facility electricity comes from renewable sources — while owned facilities represent only 2% of total footprint Nike's claim that 48% of materials are "environmentally preferred" — while the target has been 50% since FY2022 and has not been met Nike's supplier social responsibility claims — while 536 factories are rated Bronze (lowest tier) in FY2024 with zero Gold-rated factories Structure of the memo (follow this exactly): Opening (one paragraph): State the claim you chose, why it matters, and what the memo will argue Reporting and Disclosure Analysis: Apply materiality, credibility, and greenwashing taxonomy (use Chen & Chang 2013 — selective disclosure, hidden trade-off, vagueness, aspirational overclaiming). Test the claim against the Amsterdam District Court standard from KLM 2024 (honest, specific, verifiable, no false overall impression) Resource Allocation and Measurement Analysis: Use management accounting concepts — CapEx, KPI design, governance. Is Nike allocating capital to support this claim? What does the data show? Peer Comparison: Pick one sector peer (Adidas or H&M recommended). Compare how they handle the same type of claim. Be specific — use actual data, not general statements Recommendation to CFO: One specific, actionable recommendation. What should the CFO do, change, disclose, or invest in? Be realistic Key facts to use: Nike FY2025: revenue $46.3B (down 9.8%), operating margin 8% (down from 12.3%), free cash flow down 50% to $3.3B, net income $3.2B Nike FY2024: 536 factories rated Bronze, zero Gold (SMSI audit), Scope 3 = 98% of total footprint, 71% of Tier 2 thermal energy in China is coal FFF Scorecard ([login to view URL] 2025): Nike rated C− on supply chain renewables — 16% vs H&M 36% EU Green Claims Directive tightening — unverified supply chain claims carry growing regulatory risk References to cite (must use at least these): Nike FY24 Impact Report ([login to view URL]) Nike FY25 10-K ([login to view URL]) Chen & Chang (2013) — greenwashing taxonomy Amsterdam District Court (2024) — KLM ruling Garst et al. (2022) — materiality as political choice [login to view URL] (2025) — Fossil-Free Fashion Scorecard Cascale (2026) — industry decarbonisation report Word count: 1,800–2,200 words. References and headers excluded from count. Tone: Advisory memo to CFO — professional, precise, not a student essay. Argue a position. Do not just describe. Assessment criteria (writer must cover all five): Reporting and disclosure analysis with greenwashing taxonomy and materiality — 15 pts Resource allocation and KPI/governance analysis — 15 pts Specific, data-based peer comparison integrated throughout — 12 pts One specific actionable recommendation grounded in the diagnosis — 12 pts Clear structure, cited evidence, professional tone — 6 pts

As a seasoned academic and research writer, I possess the skills and knowledge necessary to deliver a high-quality, well-structured memo addressing Nike's sustainability claims. I am well-versed in using various analytical frameworks and understand the importance of citing relevant references, just as your project requires. My proficiency in Excel perfectly aligns with your need to analyze financial data. I have had extensive experience in scrutinizing organizations' claims regarding their environmental sustainability, as well as identifying any instances of greenwashing. This aligns directly with the first section of the memo where we evaluate Nike's claim on its use of renewable energy from owned facilities. I will bring your attention to Chen & Chang's (2013) greenwashing taxonomy and apply the Amsterdam District Court standards to assess its veracity. To further enhance the quality of your assignment, I will incorporate a peer comparison between Nike and another sector company such as Adidas or H&M; it will be based on actual data rather than vague statements. The final task in your project, providing a specific recommendation rooted in analysis and data, is something I consider myself adept at. Together, we can compose a compelling note to Nike's CFO that suggests realistic actions for the company to take based on resources allocation and KPI design analysis.
