Our team is passionate about preserving and protecting the Islands. Through initiatives such as solar farms across our facilities, a wastewater system we installed on the Big Island, and even sustainable packaging efforts, we aim to minimize our environmental impact and reduce our carbon footprint.

Over the years, we have donated over $2 million to the Takitani Foundation, which grants scholarships and educational opportunities to deserving students across Hawai‘i. We also partner with local schools, colleges, and universities, including Kamehameha Schools, University of Hawai‘i at Manoa & Hilo, and Chaminade University. Through guest lectures, tours of our offices & facilities, and more, we help local students understand how we run the #1 branded macadamia company.

We believe supporting local entrepreneurs is key to Hawai‘i’s future growth. We do this through a range of collaborative partnerships, with two good examples being; Keiki Rise and Mana Up. With Keiki Rise, we aim to empower the next generation of Hawai‘i’s entrepreneurs with tools, resources, and connections to succeed in business. Through Mana Up, we offer executive mentorship to up-and-coming local business owners and provide +25 entrepreneurs access to a global audience through a permanent “store within a store” in our Visitor Center near Hilo.

We proudly give back to our local community with impactful donations, resulting in us being named one of Hawai‘i's most charitable companies multiple years in a row. We have donated in-kind product and sponsorships to hundreds of local organizations and events such as Hawai‘i Foodbank, Merrie Monarch Festival, Honolulu Little League, and many others across the state.

We are excited to invest in the success and wellbeing of our broader Island community through meaningful partnerships. One of the many ways we do this is, for example, our partnership with The Arc of Hilo. This is a workforce of adults with disabilities that help manage the landscaping needs at our Kea‘au facility. Additionally, we partner with organizations such as Digital Ready Hawai‘i to educate and provide digital tools to kupuna (elders), bridging the digital literacy gap in our state.

Out of our ~500 employees, about 430 are based on the Islands. Beyond this, our operations support an additional 3,000 jobs across the state, including our suppliers, stores, logistics & distribution partners, local farmers, growers, and more.
