The Central Asian Institute for Environmental Studies (CAIER) hosted a strategic session ‘CAIER's Mission, Vision, Values’. It was not just a meeting - the team discussed together what is important to them, how they see the future of the Institute and what they aspire to.
Such events have become a good tradition for our company.
CAIER was founded in 2012 thanks to the ecologist Aselle Tasmagambetova. From the very beginning, the Institute under her leadership was built on the principles of sustainable development, and in 13 years it has come a long way: the team has grown, there are more projects, and the areas of work have become even more diverse.
In order for all employees to feel part of this growth, it was decided to organise an internal strategy session. This was a great opportunity to look at CAIER's core values, clarify their meaning and share ideas.
Aselle Tasmagambetova explained where it all started - how CAIER grew from a small laboratory with three employees to one of the leading independent environmental institutes. Now the team has 135 unique high-tech devices, and their research is in demand both in Kazakhstan and abroad. CAIER has already made a major contribution to the environment by developing methods for processing oil waste, rainwater harvesting systems and new ways to purify water.
‘I still remember with warmth our first client - a woman who asked us to measure the noise level in her flat. We happily agreed because it was our very first order! I believe that nothing is given at once: you have to dream, strive, work - and then the dream turns into a mission, and the mission into concrete goals. Yes, there are difficulties on the way, but they make the victory even more valuable’, - Aselle Imangalievna shared.
She paid special attention to the project ‘Caspian seal’, which the Institute has been engaged in since 2014. At first, many people did not understand why CAIER was interested in this animal, but today everyone knows that the Caspian seal is the most important indicator of the state of the region's ecology. Now the institute is regularly approached by scientists, journalists and public organisations for its expert opinion on the state of the Caspian Sea.
‘Any idea, if it is really important, eventually starts working and gets support. But behind every successful project there is always a lot of hard work,’ said Asel Tasmagambetova.
During the strategic session, CAIER employees took part in an interactive business game: together they discussed and formulated their vision of the mission, values and future of the Institute. Now the key documents of the company will be updated based on their ideas.
CAIER continues to move forward, uniting people who care.
