Newton Running announced its certification as a B Corporation, a designation awarded to companies that strive to solve social and environmental problems and meet higher standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability.
“Newton is committed to building a socially and environmentally responsible company that helps people run better. We are helping others through our involvement in a diverse range of philanthropic and sustainability efforts, both in our community and abroad,” said Jerry Lee, Newton Running co-founder and CEO. “We worked hard to achieve this distinction and we’re particularly proud to be the first certified B Corporation that is solely focused on developing performance running shoes. Giving back bonds our team and allows us to live our mission of making every stride better.”
To celebrate the honor of being a Certified B Corporation, Newton Running hosted an official announcement at the Newton Running World Headquarters this morning.
