NIKE, Inc. · 10 September 2024 · put on the ballot by shareholder · Pay equity & inclusion
Should Nike publish the raw pay gap between its workers by gender and race?
Shareholders asked for “unadjusted” median pay gap figures — the plain difference between what women and men, and white and non-white employees, are paid across the whole company. Companies usually publish an adjusted number instead, which compares people in the same role and so cannot show whether one group is concentrated in the lower-paid roles.
