Vision & Mission
OMI follows the ideology of insects with its focus on “Fit for Purpose and Powerful Solutions”. Its Vision is to add value to its clients through innovative implementation that improves sustainability, reduces environmental liabilities and minimises risk. OMI is constantly trying to find creative and effective solutions for the rehabilitation of impacted areas. OMI leads by example by promoting Powerful Solutions with Gentle Delivery.
Our Mission is to “Make a Difference” by giving back to those who need help the most and for those who are already making a difference through conservation initiatives. Some of the initiatives that we have been involved in include illustrated children’s books, animated videos dedicated to conservation initiatives, fostering orphan elephants and supporting the Afrika Tikkun initiative that empowers youth from cradle to career. In 2023, the organisations that we have donated to include Kwetsima Cakes. Missio Dei SA and Eshowe Highschool. We proudly support Charities and NGOs/NPO’s based in the Middle East, Africa, and South Africa.
In 2020 we initiated the establishment of a “Wings Sanctuary”, starting our first Apiary (a bee farm), which doubled in size in 2021. In 2022 our apiary expanded exponentially with the acquisition of more bee colonies and the establishment of more apiary sites. OMI now establishes apiary farms across South Africa with farms being established in the Limpopo and Cape Province in 2023. OMI also aims to offer opportunities for the disabled with these farms, empowering them with a purpose.

Values
In October 2018 the odds were against us. All we could do was look up and let God be our “wings”, and with his plan we started this journey. The goal is to give back and make a positive impact.
Our name, OMI Solutions, embodies our journey: "O" honours a friend who provided crucial support in our inaugural year and aligns with the colour orange, which itself symbolises creativity. Orange also pays homage to AQPSA, the mining company where Robyn Mellett, the founder of OMI, cherished her early career experiences and people in it, as that was its colour too. The letter "M" originally represented her surname, "Mellett," but now reflects our commitment to "Meliorism," the belief in positive change through love, creativity, compassion, and kindness. "I" signifies our dedication to Integrity and Innovation. Preserving our brand’s integrity is vitally important, just as we need to ensure that we have sustainable and ethical progress, this all encapsulated in our motto, "Powerful Solutions, Gentle Delivery."
