The foundation aims to create significant positive changes by uniting companies with shared values and focusing on sustainable development in today’s rapidly evolving business environment.

Advancing Sustainable Goals
The Mezyan Foundation is committed to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through innovative programs. These initiatives aim to reduce carbon emissions, foster sustainable economic growth, and support social equity. By calling for project proposals quarterly, the foundation incentivizes groundbreaking ideas with grant opportunities. One successful past project included collaborating with Free Ukraine to support humanitarian efforts and educational programs for Ukrainian children in Switzerland.
Haider Alleg, Founder of Mezyan, states, “Our goal is to bring awareness and implement solutions that have a real impact on the ground. Collaboration is key to achieving our mission, and we welcome partnerships from all sectors.” Teddy Poncelet from Axe Capital Forest Ltd. adds, “Working with Mezyan has enabled us to quickly mobilize resources and see tangible results in our environmental projects, such as reforestation initiatives that have already restored over 500 hectares of degraded land.”
The Growing Importance of ESG
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria are becoming increasingly vital for the future of business and society. Companies with strong ESG performance are better positioned to manage risks and capitalize on opportunities. ESG practices help companies attract and retain top talent, enhance brand reputation, and foster investor confidence. Furthermore, they contribute to long-term sustainability by addressing critical issues like climate change, social inequality, and corporate governance transparency. According to a McKinsey study, organizations prioritizing ESG are 2.5 times more likely to perform better financially and have more resilient operations.
Engagement and Collaboration Opportunities
The foundation actively seeks collaborations with businesses, NGOs, and individuals passionate about ESG. Opportunities include sponsorships, partnerships, and volunteering roles in various projects. For instance, upcoming volunteer programs include community clean-up drives and educational workshops on sustainable practices.
