Responsible Business

Sustainability, Diversity,
and Impact by Design

Merrimak's commitment to responsible business is embedded in its model not bolted on. From zero-waste operations to authentic diversity spend and community giving, these principles guide every decision.

Sustainability

Lifecycle Management Built for the Long Term

By managing the full equipment lifecycle from acquisition through maintenance, refurbishment, and resale Merrimak consistently reduces waste, extends asset life, and lowers the environmental footprint of the fleets it manages.

Zero-Waste-to-Landfill

Merrimak adopted a zero-waste-to-landfill standard for all end-of-life equipment long before sustainability became an industry expectation.

Circular Lifecycle Management

Through redeployment, resale, and recycling, Merrimak consistently reduces waste, extends asset life, and lowers the environmental footprint of the fleets it manages.

Reduced CO₂ Emissions

Optimized replacement timing and fleet rightsizing reduce unnecessary equipment production and associated carbon emissions.

Audit-Ready Documentation

Full chain-of-custody documentation and ESG reporting support procurement teams in meeting internal and external sustainability commitments.

Diverse team joining hands

Merrimak is a WBENC-certified, woman-owned business enterprise and authentically so. All equity invested in our portfolio is recourse only to Merrimak. We have no outside investors, no bank ownership stake, and we do not sell equity interest in our lease transactions. When you count Merrimak toward your Tier 1 diversity spend, it is genuine.

We work with Fortune 500 and like size organizations, many globally ranked in the top 100 and 200, and there is no room for anything less than the best. WBENC certification opens doors. Performance keeps them open and grows the relationship.

As a fully independent company, we bring a level of agility that larger, institutional competitors cannot match. We act quickly, tailor solutions, and deliver accelerated results without the layers of bureaucracy that slow things down elsewhere.

Impact Giving

We Measure Success in Two Currencies.

From 2009 to 2020, during years when resources were genuinely tight, Merrimak donated more than $1 million to charitable causes. Today, we are approaching $3 million in our Donor Advised Fund, deployed across a broad range of causes that reflect the values of our team and the communities we serve.

That consistency reflects a belief that has guided this company from the beginning: that the measure of what we build is not only what appears on a balance sheet, but the impact we create for those who need it most. Giving back is not a strategy. It is a core and abiding commitment and it is only growing.

Approaching $5M.

Donated and pledged through our Donor Advised Fund, deployed across education, health, community development, arts, and more.
