Community Engagement

We create shared value that makes a difference by giving back to the communities where we live and work. Because shoes that feel good must do good too.

Bata Children’s Program

We established the Bata Children’s Program in 2011, because we believe every child should have the chance to make the most of life. Bata is always striving to be a positive force in people’s lives, and a responsible sward of our environment.

Our program inspires employees to drive positive societal impact by donating their time, skills, and resources.
