During the 6th China International Import Expo (CIIE), Nike China announced a profound collaboration with Tsinghua University in the field of sustainable development. Termed as the "Carbon Neutrality Industry-Academia-Research Deep Integration Program," this initiative aims to foster green transformation within the industry, leveraging the joint strengths of both entities.
The "Carbon Neutrality Industry-Academia-Research Deep Integration Program" aims to address major industry strategic needs and socio-economic development requirements by leveraging Tsinghua University's educational, technological, and talent advantages along with Nike's industrial resources and innovative capabilities.
Over the course of a three-year program, the collaboration will explore cutting-edge topics such as 2050 carbon-neutral enterprise low-carbon path planning, green low-carbon production and manufacturing, zero-carbon logistics transportation, and comprehensive warehousing solutions. Additionally, it will drive research on China's domestic carbon calculation and the formulation of industry standards for related zero-carbon scenarios.
Nike firmly believes that protecting the planet is crucial to safeguarding the future of sports. In tackling the enormous and complex issue of climate change, Nike has consistently sought innovative solutions and forged partnerships with key collaborators across various sectors.
Furthermore, Nike China and Tsinghua University will also collaborate in sustainable development talents. Through joint efforts between academia and industry, they aim to cultivate future leaders in sustainable development and green economy. By offering cutting-edge courses, domestic and international training, on-site visits, industry practices, and global sustainable development leader sharing sessions, they seek to nurture top-tier talent in the sustainable field with a global perspective, advanced knowledge, exceptional leadership, and rich experience in industry, academia, and research. This move is poised to bolster the achievement of the "dual carbon" goals.
