In Ham, Belgium, Nike has opened a new distribution center powered entirely by renewable energy - the latest milestone in Nike's move to zero carbon and zero waste to help protect the future of sport.
'Our new Court Distribution Center represents Nike's continued investment in a fast and flexible supply chain to deliver the full range of our product to consumers when they want it, where they want it,' says Eric Sprunk, Nike Chief Operating Officer. 'This state-of-the-art facility will increase our responsiveness as we accelerate our digital growth and better serve millions of consumers across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.'
The new facility, called the Court, expands Nike's logistics capabilities to meet growing consumer demand while advancing sustainability at scale. The Court is 1.5 million square feet and operates completely from wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric and biomass power. Compared to a traditional warehouse, the Court's rack-supported structure required less steel and concrete, minimizing waste and reducing material used in the construction process.
The distribution center expands Nike's European Logistics Campus, which opened in 1994 and today is comprised of six distribution facilities across Ham, Laakdal, Meerhout and Herentals. The Court builds upon a tradition of 25 years of service and commitment to sustainability, adding a logistics system designed for continuous improvement. New capabilities such as single-order consolidation and faster digital shipments make it possible for the facility to ship a single order as efficiently as an order of 10,000.
