Corporate Responsibility at Mesa Labs

The Corporate Responsibility Program Brochure describes Mesa’s ongoing efforts as we continue investing in our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments as critical components of our long-term business strategy and creating stockholder value. Echoing the Mesa Way, we see every day as an opportunity to improve– from water conservation to employee development, or from data security to increasing renewable energy within our buildings. Through our work and that of our customers, we hope to build more livable, sustainable communities that help protect the vulnerable around the world. With the support and oversight of our Board of Directors, we look forward to expanding upon our efforts and sharing our progress in the years to come.

"Our purpose of Protecting the Vulnerable extends beyond our focus on improving patient care. Often susceptible to harm and inequalities, the vulnerable also includes the earth that must be preserved for generations to come. The vulnerable can also be the employees within our realm of care. To truly fulfill our purpose, our processes and activities ought to be managed in a sustainable manner." - Gary Owens, President & CEO

How are we Protecting the Vulnerable® in our communities and throughout the world?

Mesa offers a breadth of products unified by a shared commitment to accelerate growth and innovation to care for communities around the world. For example, our products support laboratories with more affordable, accurate genomic testing. Our products also help workers monitor hazardous environments, including helping healthcare staff ensure the sterility of their instruments, and our products ensure the proper functioning of lifesaving medical devices. Whether it’s environments, products, or people, Mesa is committed to protecting the vulnerable.

Corporate Responsibility Framework

We recognize specific three factors that create value and are highly relevant to our business and stakeholders. We hope to continue unlocking the transformational capabilities of ESG within our people, processes, and products.

ENVIRONMENTAL

We recognize the impact we have on the environment, and we are committed to minimizing the environmental impacts of our business operations. We actively evaluate ways we can promote rigorous sustainability standards in our operations and products. These processes apply across water conservation, energy consumption, waste, packaging, and workplace safety.

SOCIAL

Our employees are essential to our success and our global community matters to us. We believe recruiting diverse talent makes Mesa stronger. We also believe that engaged employees find a greater sense of meaning and fulfillment in what they do and thus extend this effort into their performance. We focus on giving back and connecting to the needs of our local neighborhoods.

Highlight: Giving Back to Our Communities

At Mesa Labs, we care about our environment and believe in giving back to our community. Last year, 20 team members from our Clinical Genomics Division took an afternoon off, courtesy of Mesa, to participate in a beach cleanup at Fiesta Island in San Diego. 

Equipped with sunscreen, gloves, and trash bags, the team worked together and collected over 50 bags of trash, helping to make a difference for our local coastline. The team is excited to continue organizing more cleanups, building on our commitment to sustainability and community support.
