One of the main features that make Nike’s European Logistics Campus in Flanders stand out is its reliance on 100%-renewable energy. The campus draws energy from 5 locally generated sources: wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric and biomass. In addition to railways and highways, the surrounding infrastructure also includes a network of canals, enabling 99% of inbound containers to reach the local container park by water. This makes it possible for the company to eliminate approximately 14,000 truck journeys each year, reducing carbon emissions in the process.

To top it all off, more than 95% of the waste generated on-site is recycled. To highlight just one example of how this is achieved: the pathways used by employees to walk around the facility are made from recycled footwear materials.
