Also called the Quantitative Score.
Each material is assigned a Quantitative value based on an evaluation of the raw material and a supply chain scenario in four different impact areas.
Nike MSI evaluates environmental impact areas relating to both naturally sourced (plant-, animal- or mineral-based) and synthetic (fossil–fuel-based) textiles and component part materials.
<h3>Impact Areas</h3>
The index gives equal weight to these four impact areas, with each contributing 25 percent of the total possible points within the Quantitative framework structure.
Nike MSI compiles and scores data for 13 metrics within specific impact areas.
