Malama 1 connects businesses in Japan with Hawaii-based sustainability initiatives inspired by ”Mauka to Makai”, “Culture and Community” and “Innovation”. Blessed with an abundance of natural resources and top-notch research facilities, Hawaii is a pioneer in renewable energy development, cultural revitalization and resource preservation. Capitalizing on two island chains aligned with a deep appreciation of nature, culture and community, Malama 1 drives support from Japan to Hawaii in a collective effort to preserve the islands, perpetuate Native Hawaiian culture and sponsor educational opportunities for future generations.
Non-profit organizations (NPOs) that impact Hawaii’s sustainability efforts through conservation, Hawaiian culture and green technology are carefully selected as beneficiaries of funding from participating businesses in Japan with aligned purposes.
