MEST - Inspiring the next generation

In 2008, Meltwater’s founder Jorn Lyseggen created MEST (The Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology) based on the principle that “talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.” Lyseggen chose the African continent, an area of the world that historically has been underserved and underfunded, and launched a technology training program to fuel the next generation of African entrepreneurs.

MEST is a non-profit, Africa-wide technology training program, internal seed fund and network of hubs offering incubation for technology startups in Africa. It provides critical skills training, funding and support in software development, business and communications to aspiring tech entrepreneurs. Since inception MEST has launched numerous successful startups that have gone on to receive follow-on funding and admission to the world’s top tech accelerators, has hosted guest lecturers from Fortune 100 companies, and counts Mastercard Foundation, Microsoft and 500 Startups among its partners.

Environmental

It's our planet. Let's take care of it.

We believe environmental sustainability is one of the most pressing issues of our day. We have a responsibility as a company, and as individuals, to positively impact our environment and create a better world for future generations.

Global Green Council

Meltwater has a one-tier board structure consisting of one Executive Director and five Non-Executive Directors elected by the Company's shareholders, on the binding nomination of the Board of Directors. We're committed to maintaining an independent and diverse Board of Directors. Our Board members bring together a diverse set of skills and experiences from different industries and markets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you partner with vendors and suppliers who are environmentally friendly?

Yes! That is a focus for Meltwater globally. We include environmental factors in our decision making process for vendors, partners, and suppliers. We are proud to partner with AWS as our cloud-vendor today, a company that has committed to powering their operations with 100% renewable energy by 2025. We select IT vendors for example in specific geographies in an attempt to reduce the shipping journey and thus environmental impact.

Do you recycle IT equipment?

Yes! Wherever possible, equipment is recycled and reused within the company.

Is there a green training program for employees?

We are currently working on this and will launch in 2023. In addition, Meltwater’s Global Green Council is an employee-led task force that develops policies to lessen the impact we have on the environment as a company with a focus on energy & climate change, waste & recycling, innovation, education and partnerships.

What are Meltwater’s plans to improve energy efficiency?

Continue to purchase equipment that is Energy Star Certified. Maintain a preference for office space in buildings that are also Energy Star Certified. Work with the Green Council on local energy conservation efforts.

What is your business travel policy?

Business travel is on an “as needs” basis and employees are asked to consolidate meetings when they travel. During the COVID-19 pandemic, business travel was reduced by over 70% in 2020 and 50% in 2021. In 2022, travel budgets were reduced by over 30% compared to pre-pandemic levels, and we will aim to reduce our carbon footprint into the future.
