Responsible Leadership
Sewn into the fabric of our company 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. These practices are guided by our Mission Statement:
Since our beginning in 1906, and with our first pair of running shoes in 1938, New Balance has been committed to moving the world physically, emotionally and intellectually. With over 4,000 associates worldwide, and New Balance product available in over 120 countries, we strive to make an impact in three broad areas. Our global responsible leadership movement is based on our company and our associates giving back, moving the environment forward, and encouraging people to act as catalysts and coaches.
