Responsible Leadership
Sewn into the fabric of our company since its inception in 1906 is the desire to give back to the communities in which we live and work. This desire to make a lasting impact shapes our corporate culture, our business practices and our vision for the future.
As we've grown from a small, Boston-based arch support company into a global athletic product company, the number of communities and ways in which we've been able to impact them has grown in stride. These contributions are guided by our Mission Statement:

Demonstrating responsible leadership, we build global brands that athletes are proud to wear, associates are proud to create and communities are proud to host.
Steering Committee
To ensure we adhere to these beliefs as we evolve and grow, we created the Responsible Leadership Steering Committee. In a fast-paced, rapidly changing world, this group acts as a touchstone to the core values of New Balance, guided by the following principles:
- Operate with integrity and humanity
- Ensure the advancement of sustainable business practices globally
- Commit to sharing what we know and offer generously what we can give
- Reduce or eliminate negative impact on the environment by designing and building products with end-of-life in mind
- Commit to the highest standards in our facilities for the protection of our associates, safe operation of our physical plants and a healthy working environment
