“The state of Hawaiʻi, Maui County and local businesses are leading by example, demonstrating that investing in energy efficiency, in recycling, and in preserving natural resources protects the environment and makes good business sense,” said Governor Neil Abercrombie. ” By reducing the electricity and water they use and waste, these private and public sector innovators are helping our state reach the goal of 70 percent clean energy by 2030.”
The Hawaiʻi Green Business Awards Program is a partnership between the Hawaiʻi State Department of Health, DB EDT, the Honolulu Board of Water Supply, the City and County of Honolulu's Environmental Services Recycling Office, and the Chamber of Commerce of Hawaiʻi. The program encourages businesses and organizations to implement efficiency measures and share information and support each other in operating in an environmentally sustainable manner.
