Businesses in Hawaii have the opportunity to develop a sustainable business model that is both profitable and socially responsible. Through the Hawaii Green Business Program (HGBP), companies can adopt principles, policies, and practices that care for people and the Earth. Strategies such as employee ownership, the use of recycled and biodegradable materials, eco-friendly packaging, community charitable participation, progressive employee benefits, and money-back guarantees can help businesses become more sustainable. HGBP creates a profitable partnership between business, government, and an interested public.
Through improvements in operational efficiency, procurement procedures, regulatory compliance, and community relations, HGBP members can improve their financial results while supporting efforts to achieve a more sustainable Hawaii. At GMCR, every business decision is based on the company's core values in relation to the environmental and social impact of its business actions. This program is a partnership between the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, the Department of Health, the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce, and the Water Supply Board. It highlights companies that are dedicated to creating a sustainable Hawaii.
A total of 37 businesses, venues and events have received awards from the Hawaii Green Business Program this year for adopting sustainable and energy efficient business practices that help them realize profits while promoting Hawaii's sustainability and clean energy goals.
