Li Ning (company) → Li-Ning – This is the company's official name, as can be seen by its logo or official website. Also per WP:Natural. I also fail to understand why "Li-Ning" is currently redirected to the gymnast, there's no hyphen in the gymnast's name. Timmyshin (talk) 20:11, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

• Comment - well whatever happens with the move Li-Ning certainly should redirect to the company not the athlete. However English business books and Sports books both hopelessly mix up with and without the hyphen. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:53, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Requested update: History – US Customs and Border Protection detention (2022)

I am affiliated with Li-Ning Company as agency and therefore have a conflict of interest regarding this article. I am requesting this change rather than editing the article directly. Current text/information: On 7 March 2022, the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, the Government Pension Fund of Norway excluded and divested from Li-Ning. The reason for this exclusion was an "unacceptable risk that the company contributes to serious human rights violations". That same month, the US Customs & Border Protection began detaining Li-Ning products from entering American soil due to the company using North Korean labor in its supply chain, causing them to withdraw from the US market. Proposed change: In the History section, related to the US Customs and Border Protection reference, could you kindly update this section： After review and further investigation, CBP officially rescinded its import prohibition on Li Ning products on 14 March 2025. Li Ning goods are no longer subject to detention. You may verify this directly by consulting the CBP website, referenced below.

Requested update: Environmental practices section

I am affiliated with Li-Ning Company as agency and therefore have a conflict of interest regarding this article. I am requesting this change rather than editing the article directly.

Current text/information:

The current content is based on information from 2011 and does not adequately reflect subsequent developments. Related content is provided below for consideration，could you consider amending.

Proposed change:

In 2011, Li-Ning was among several sportswear and fashion brands named in Greenpeace's Dirty Laundry report, which investigated hazardous chemical pollution associated with textile manufacturing facilities in China. The report identified commercial links between Li-Ning and suppliers operating at two facilities investigated by Greenpeace. Li-Ning subsequently joined an industry association of Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) which aims at phasing out hazardous chemicals from textile supply chains.

In recent years, Li-Ning has reported relevan measures and results. According to its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance Report, the Company continued to collaborate with professional third-party testing institutions to implement on-site chemical assessment programmes. Based on the Chemical Management Framework of Li Ning Company Limited, eight key suppliers were selected for systematic evaluation of their chemical management across the entire “input–process–output” cycle, focusing on key challenges identified in assessments conducted over the past three years. Targeted guidance and capacity-building activities were also carried out.

Through site visits, specialised training and experience-sharing activities, the suppliers participating in the assessment significantly improved their chemical management capabilities. Specifically, two suppliers improved from “Good” to “Leader”, one supplier improved from “Qualified” to “Good” and one supplier improved from “Unqualified” to “Qualified”.

In addition to enhancing supplier chemical management capabilities through the evaluation programme, the Company also focuses on improving the environmental sustainability of chemicals used throughout the production process. Efforts include promoting chemical phase-out and green alternatives to reduce environmental impact and safety risks at the source, thereby strengthening the foundation of a green supply chain. In 2025, 100% of adhesives used in footwear production obtained bluesign®, OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 or ZDHC certification. More than 80% of materials used in apparel products obtained OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification. Through recognised third-party certification systems, the Company strictly manages chemical substance emissions across the entire apparel and footwear value chain, reinforcing safety and environmental protection in manufacturing while fulfilling its commitment to sustainable development.

In the field of leather materials, in 2025, the major leather suppliers participated in the “ZDHC Supplier to Zero Programme” and obtained Fundamental Level certification, with synthetic leather products accounting for more than 90% of supply. In our Environmental Management Manual, we require that all leather suppliers obtain LWG certification. In 2025, 100% of our genuine leather suppliers obtained LWG Gold certification.
