Nike ranked 23rd on Fast Company 's The World's Most
Innovative Companies 2011. The business magazine particularly praised its
environmental design efforts.

Its profile on Nike stated, “Nike rescued 13 million
used plastic bottles, melted them down, and wove them into polyester. Then they
created high-performance jerseys (eight bottles per shirt) worn by nine teams
during last summer's World Cup. The company also released the Environmental
Apparel Design Tool, which helps industry designers make environmentally
friendly decisions. 'We want to collaborate,' says Lorrie Vogel, general
manager of Nike's Considered team, which oversees the company's sustainability
efforts. 'To learn how to thrive in a resource-restrained world, we have to
hold everyone to the same standards.'
