Quoted: John Horan
"What is driving this is that the Beijing Olympics are going to be an opportunity for these activist groups to make a lot of noise. Nike is trying to get out in front of that."
According to CCN Money, the number 1 athletic shoe maker has agreed to publish a list of more than 700 of its contract factories around the world. This will make it easier to crack down on abuses in an industry in which sweatshops are rampant, according to human rights groups, which have been seeking lists like Nike's for years.
John Horan, who publishes the trade magazine Sporting Goods Intelligence, said Nike's openness comes ahead of an expected crush of protests from human rights groups against the company and other athletic shoe and clothing makers in the run-up to the 2008 Summer Olympics.
