Nike Inc’s namesake brand President Trevor Edwards has resigned and will retire in August, a company spokeswoman said on Thursday.

Earlier on Thursday the Wall Street Journal, citing an internal memo, reported that Nike had received in recent weeks reports of “behavior occurring within our organization that do not reflect our core values of inclusivity, respect and empowerment.”
There has been “conduct inconsistent with Nike’s core values and against our code of conduct,” the spokeswoman said, adding that there have been no direct allegations of misconduct against Edwards.
“When we hear of claims we investigate and take the appropriate action,” she said.
Edwards will now serve as an adviser to Nike Chief Executive Officer Mark Parker until his retirement, she added.
