What MIESES Global | Excelencia - Salud Empresarial y Sostenibilidad does

MIESES Global is a non-profit association (Asociación sin ánimo de lucro, CIF G-67034686) founded on 14 June 2017 in Barcelona, Spain, with approximately 18 staff. It targets small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs/PYMES) and social economy organizations, helping them progress toward sustainable, healthy, and competitive business practices through the Modelo 4P — a diagnostic framework built on four pillars: Persons (People), Prevention, Planet (environment), and Prosperity (profit). The association's core intellectual property includes 44+ Guías MIESES (guidance documents) authored by domain experts and organized by the four 4P thematic areas, plus two structured methodologies: the ILO-MIESES SOLUTION (developed with the International Labour Organization) and MIM (Metodología Integral Mieses) for organizational transformation.

The association operates a community-led go-to-market model, delivering its offering through webinars, an international forum series (II Foro in 2017, III Foro held simultaneously in Barcelona, Quito, and Las Palmas GC in October 2025), networking events (5a Networking MIESES with 37 specialized consulting firms), and a basic training course for certifying MIESES advisors. Revenue is generated primarily through membership fees and contributions from associated members, with no public pricing disclosed and no external investors. The organization maintains alliances with ILO, INSST, PIMEC, EIC, ASONAP, MIESES-Ecuador, MIESES-Galicia, and roughly twenty other institutional partners across Spain and Latin America, and has earned recognition from EU-OSHA (2019) and the Col·legi d'Infermeria de Barcelona's Premio Salut i Feina (2019).

Leadership is anchored by President Manuel Bestratén, who concurrently serves as Conseller Tècnic del INSST, and Vice President Renée Scott. The association's value proposition rests on the integrated 4P diagnostic, alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030), and a multi-stakeholder ecosystem of consulting firms and partner institutions that SMEs can access via membership rather than commercial procurement.
