When Nike began the expansion of its world headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon in 1997 company leaders made a commitment to saving energy. All four of the newly completed buildings were built according to Portland General Electric's (PGE) Earth Smart^® guidelines for a 20% reduction of the earth's energy load. One of those buildings, named after the 1999 women's U.S. World Cup team captain Mia Hamm, surpasses the guideline with a 30% reduction in energy use.

Since low-toxicity building products were required to meet Nike’s Earth Smart^® requirements, BonaTech TRAFFIC was the hardwood floor finish selected to coat the 1^st grade maple floors in the cafeterias, hallways and gift shop, as well as the vice-president’s and president’s offices. Traffic™ provided the durability, environmental responsibility and clear, non-ambering beauty which met Nike’s interior architectural design and environmental responsibility requirements.
