Connecting People
Our vision is to connect people, free from waste or pollution, enhancing environmental quality and health in our communities. Complying with environmental laws and regulations is a foundation to our operations; however, we aspire to higher standards and commit to continuous improvement of our environmental policies and practices. We will educate and inform our stakeholders and strive for innovation that will complement our business strategy. Our aspiration is to eliminate any negative environmental impact from our business activities, creating social value, environmental health and connection as our “footprint.”
Environmental Policy
In our Environmental Policy, we commit to continuous improvement of our environmental policies and practices and to fully comply with all relevant laws and regulations. But that is only a foundation. To proactively prevent pollution, we will:
- Take urgent, meaningful, science-based climate actions, reducing first our own greenhouse has emissions and those emitted by others on our behalf
- Favor sustainable procurement, with the aim of using environmentally responsible products in balance with quality, availability, and economics
- Eliminate waste associated with business activities, materials and equipment, seeking reuse, refurbishment, resale or recycling before disposal, whenever possible
- Stay abreast of new technologies and innovations to assist with environmental protection and adopt new technologies and practices where effective and feasible.

Climate Action
In 2021 we made a long-term commitment to be net-zero carbon emitters by 2040. In 2022 we adopted our interim goal of reducing our carbon emissions 40% from our 2021 baseline by 2030. Our targets align with those recommended by the Science Based Targets Initiative's (SBTi) guidance for Information and Communications Technology companies, and contribute to the global effort to limit warming to 1.5-degrees Celsius.

E-Waste Recycling
The members of our "green" employee group, called the Malama 'Aina, engage with each other and in our communities to serve and protect the environment. Meet them at our periodic e-waste collection events or find them volunteering at beach and park clean-ups, gardening and planting trees.
Community Partnerships
Our employee resource groups (ERG's) engage with each other and in our communities to serve and protect the environment.
To find and offer collaboration with community partners, we are an active member of Hawai'i Green Growth’s Sustainability Business Forum.
