Response from Nike

Full response

"Nike's focus within apparel and footwear is to move toward fewer stronger, longer-term strategic partnerships with factories. Our ability to meet the target and report on it depends on how the percentages are measured. If based on FOB volume or % of workers, this is attainable, as it reflects our current footwear strategy. If it reflects total number of factory locations, this may be more challenging, particularly as we are just beginning to incorporate Nike subsidiary brands into the overall strategy."
