Our culture

Collaboration for change

We think of ourselves as an ever-expanding team of innovators, scientists, and experts combining our unique experience, skills, and expertise to drive change across heavy industries—the world’s heaviest polluters. Through innovation and the use of industrial waste, we enable the circular economy and drastically cut emissions, helping to reshape the construction sector and beyond. Our concern for the planet is central to everything we do, driving sustainable growth for global industries without compromising the environment. We build long-term relationships, always anticipating our partners’ needs. Proudly challenging the status quo, we embrace failure as a learning tool and act with a strong sense of ownership in every endeavour. The result? We are on track to save 1 gigaton of CO2 by 2040.

Andrew Longstaff Lauren Pearsall Sonu George Untitled

As a Senior Materials Scientist at Mevo, I love applying my chemistry knowledge to further the development of alternative sustainable binders. Being in a fast-paced startup also means I have the opportunity to get involved in other areas of the business, making it an interesting, fun, and rewarding experience!

Dr Andrew Longstaff

Senior Materials Scientist

I love the variety that comes with working at a startup and being part of a company with a strong, value-led mission.

Lauren Pearsall

Operations Assistant

Small changes are easy to make, but we don’t settle for small changes here at Mevo. Working with creative and innovative minds to tackle CO2 emissions at the second-largest source gives me immense satisfaction. Aligning artificial intelligence and sustainable AI methods to this vision is a challenge I look forward to facing daily as a Machine Learning Engineer at Mevo. In this rat race of using artificial intelligence in everything, everywhere, all at once, we ensure we do it correctly.
