Until we all run on equal ground
The shoes and gear we develop, the experiences we create, and the partnerships we build should contribute to a more inclusive and accessible running community.

Workplace, runners, and run community
We believe in the power of a diverse running community that includes people of different races, ethnicities, national origins, abilities, genders, ages, sexual orientations, body types, and circumstances. We are pursuing practices that will create access to opportunity and a culture where everyone is welcomed and valued.

Our targets
- Achieve at least 50% representation of women at all levels of Brooks U.S. employees
- Reach at least 30% BIPOC representation at all levels of Brooks U.S. employees
- Maintain our Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s “Corporate Equality Index” score of 100 / 100
Community impact
The run can do more than improve health — it can improve well-being. We hope to create this positive change by listening to and engaging with runners in their communities.

Our targets
- Dedicate more than $5M per year in cash and gear to social impact programs
- Focus on partnerships that make the benefits of the run accessible to everyone
