At MISTRAS Group, our mission is to deliver value to our customers through maximizing uptime and safety of the assets they operate. An integral component of our ability to being able to deliver on this mission is our ability to operate in a safe manner, while being the sole integrated-solution partner for all current and future customers.

Lead by our Board of Directors, we created a standing Committee which provides guidance and oversight as it relates to Environment, Social and Governance (ESG). This Committee, named the Environmental, Social and Safety Committee (ESS Committee), strengthens MISTRAS’ commitment to operate in an environmentally friendly manner, while being a responsible member of the communities in which we operate. Our ESS Committee, working in tandem with the Governance Committee, integrates with key business stakeholders to drive the Company’s ESG initiatives throughout the business to provide comprehensive oversight and monitoring.
