Introducing Ascend - Mecho's New Sustainability Program
November 17, 2025
Leveling up our Sustainability Commitment
At Mecho, we believe in the power of innovation to elevate sustainable action. We’re so excited to announce the next step in our journey. Ascend is our new sustainability framework that outlines our ongoing commitment to product innovation, operational excellence, and a culture of continuous improvement.
It is both a framework and a commitment: to be transparent about our progress, accountable for our impact, and focused in our pursuit of a more sustainable future.
Designed For Continuous Improvement
Sustainability isn’t new for Mecho. For over 25 years, we’ve laid the groundwork for leadership in sustainable product design and innovation within the shading industry. But today’s landscape demands more. With a rapidly changing climate, evolving building standards, a complex regulatory environment, and growing customer expectations for material transparency, the need to clearly define and communicate our strategy has never been greater.
As pioneers in sustainable product certifications, we know that good product design are only part of a company’s strategy. It also means implementing processes that reflect our values, like enhancing resource efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and strengthening our operational integrity. Ascend creates the structure to drive these advancements forward, ensuring that products and operations reflect our commitment to progress.
Our culture remains the foundation of everything we do. We’re a team of problem-solvers and technical experts who thrive on challenges. Sustainability at Mecho also means fostering a workplace where collaboration, inclusion, and shared purpose drive continuous improvement.
Our Pillars
Ascend is built on three guiding pillars that define how we innovate, optimize, and thrive:
- Innovate – Advancing product design and technology to shape a more sustainable built environment.
- Optimize – Enhancing operational efficiency and resource stewardship to minimize environmental impact.
- Thrive – Empowering our people and communities to grow, lead, and create lasting value.
In the coming weeks, we’ll share more about our new projects, resources, measurable goals, and how we’ll track progress along the way.
Together, we ascend.
