Corporate Responsibility at Mesa Labs

Our commitment to being a purpose-driven business continues to guide our journey towards a sustainable and impactful future. We are delighted to present the third annual edition of our Corporate Responsibility Brochure, which highlights our ongoing efforts to fulfill our purpose of Protecting the Vulnerable®. Leveraging the Mesa Way – our lean based system of continuous improvement – we find ways to impact our contribution as a corporate citizen: from water conservation to employee development, or from data security to increasing renewable energy within our buildings. Many aspects of our work through the Mesa Way build more livable, sustainable communities that help protect the vulnerable around the world and align with our strategy to build shareholder value.

"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

Protecting the Vulnerable®

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.

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 that can reduce waste and environmental impact across the lifecycle of our products. These processes apply across water conservation, energy consumption, waste, packaging, and workplace safety.

COMMUNITY

Our employees are essential to our success and our global community matters to us. We believe recruiting the best talent from the widest pool of applicants 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.

GOVERNANCE

Our Board of Directors creates value by providing oversight to our business, including our strategy. The governance they provide is the foundation for operating an ethical business that upholds our values and purpose. A diversity of backgrounds and viewpoints is a key attribute for the Board to best serve the long-term interests of our shareholders.

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.
