Our mission
Discover our vision, our values and our history.
Our vision
To achieve its mission, METEORAGE develops increasingly effective decision-making services adapted to all business sectors impacted by these extreme weather phenomena.
From the outset, the company’s business model has been based on the bold gamble of pooling the major investments required for lightning detection and the services platform to serve a large number of users at accessible prices.Â
The development of this risk culture among all economic players is therefore a major challenge, which is part of a long-term vision to preserve our planet.
METEORAGE is now positioned as the world leader in its highly specialized field.
Our values
They guide our actions and inspire our employees every day to offer our customers innovative solutions and excellent service.
01Innovation
Innovation is at the heart of our DNA.
It has a clear objective: to improve user benefits and create value for our users, whatever their field of activity. In line with this objective, we are developing in-house our service generation and detection network management platform, a tool that is absolutely unique on the market, and over which we have complete control.
Developments are carried out using agile methods, both to integrate technological and scientific developments and to respond rapidly to expectations for operational improvements.
Our recurring investment in R&D is massive, with 3/4 of our technical team allocated to these functions.
02Service-minded
Even in a service company like METEORAGE, a service-minded must be demonstrated on a daily basis. And it’s just as fundamental that it permeates the whole company and is shared by every member of the team, even those who have no direct contact with our customers.
The aim is to offer an irreproachable customer experience. This is reflected in particular in the high rates of renewal of subscriptions to our services, which are a source of shared pride.
03Excellence
The raw material that METEORAGE deals with, lightning and thunderstorms, is eminently dangerous, and we are aware of the risks incurred by our customers who rely on us to reduce them. That’s our duty.
The quest for excellence therefore applies to the entire METEORAGE value chain, from the lightning detection network, which uses the best available technology, to our services, which are constantly adapted and subject to stringent quality and availability monitoring.
04Commitment
Commitment is first and foremost synonymous with involvement and motivation, both individual and collective, in the service of our mission and the objectives we set ourselves.
METEORAGE’s activity is, by its very nature, at the service of the planet. So it’s only natural that we should commit ourselves to an ambitious social and environmental approach, covering all aspects of the ISO 26000 standard.
05Team spirit
We cultivate a friendly and stimulating working environment in which everyone can develop and express their potential and talents.
We are convinced that the well-being of our employees combined with their commitment is essential to our success.
METEORAGE’s mode of governance is based on the autonomy and responsibility of each employee. In return, we encourage collaborative working wherever possible, in a constant search for collective efficiency.
Our CSR commitment
Since its creation, METEORAGE has placed Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at the heart of its strategy, in order to contribute to a safer, fairer and more environmentally-friendly future.
