New Balance Athletics

New Balance, headquartered in Boston, MA, has the following purpose: Independent since 1906, New Balance empowers people through sport and craftsmanship to create positive change in communities around the world.  Responsible Leadership is our approach to doing business. Our day-to-day decisions impact people and the planet. Our Responsible Leadership strategy describes how we strive to build a better, more sustainable future. By understanding these impacts and reshaping our actions, we can intentionally improve the lives of people throughout our value chain and protect the ecosystems we rely on and live within.  Our Responsible Leadership targets hold us accountable so that our values are reflected in what we make and how we make it. We’ve set targets in the areas that represent our greatest risks and greatest opportunities to drive progress.  We believe that the work at Renewable Carbon Initiative (RCI) aligns with our Responsible Leadership strategy and we are committed to shaping a better future, together.
