Our Story
From our humble beginnings in 2014..
We’ve come a long way in a short time and our adventure is just beginning. With decades of experience, we have a team of internal experts to take projects from conception and make them a reality. This is how we do it.
We offer independent advice and assistance on new technologies in electricity, new initiatives, and technology options. This includes photovoltaic solar power and wind energy, electric vehicles, batteries, and smart grids - insight into the different technologies, their economics and impacts on the grid. I can also assist in evaluating impacts on energy policy, renewable energy development, renewable energy contribution to greenhouse gas reduction, and technology options.
We specialise in the establishment and management of projects, particularly in the area of electricity markets or involving new technology and innovation, such as software, solar power, electric vehicles, battery storage, smart grids including demand response and dynamic rating.
Our People
The core experts and principals that define Men-Dem's Philosophy
Men-Dem Nigeria Limited is a small, agile team of Sustainability Consultants based in Lagos, Nigeria. We’re driven by helping you to reimagine your business or organisation. We want to inspire you to think and act differently that doesn’t cost the earth and to make choices you are proud of. And while we are committed to helping your business to be sustainable we won’t charge you the earth either.
We’re proudly Nigerian owned and operated, but bring a wealth of international exprience to share with our clients.
Special skills mean special results
Today’s world of climate change, biodiversity loss, increased regulation, resource and time constraints and pandemics can leave us all overwhelmed. Staying where we are can feel easier than trying to pick our way through the complexity of solutions, changes, pitfalls and risks.
Any organisation can count numbers and have targets and we certainly believe they are important for measuring success, impacts and changes. However, to really make organisational improvements, we believe it doesn’t start with metrics. It is about motivating people, the desire, the education and understanding of what good looks like for businesses and organisation’s in today’s rapidly changing world.
It’s all about our future generations.
This is what makes us different, we are people centric, we start with you, your leadership team, and your critical decision makers.
We will question you on what you care about, where you want to make changes and what your customers/clients want. Data, science, technology, and tools are the enablers to achieve better outcomes.
We will never tell you what you should do – our sustainability consultants will provide alternate pathways and solutions
- We will never judge or shame you for the journey you have taken to where you are today – we will provide you with an action plan to achieve different outcomes
- We do not want you to be fearful about change – we will help you grasp new opportunities
