Nike is being investigated by the US government over allegations it discriminated against white employees and job applicants.
The company failed to respond properly to a subpoena seeking documents about its diversity programmes, including “race-restricted mentoring, leadership, or career development opportunities,” according to the US equal employment opportunity commission (EEOC).
The agency is seeking a court order to force the athletic footwear and clothing giant to hand over documents “related to systemic race discrimination”.
