COMMUNITY SERVICE
ESI is committed to helping preserve the environmental integrity of our land and waters, where our island community lives, works, and plays. We strive to meet this commitment through the professional work we do for our clients, and by encouraging our employees to volunteer and to join in at company-sponsored events focused on stewardship of the environment. We value and appreciate our ties to the local community and those we serve, and view community service and support as a means of expressing our appreciation. Organizations that ESI has supported include Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, Hui o Ko'olaupoko, and North Shore Community Land Trust. Since our inception, we have provided full and partial pro-bono environmental consulting work to clients, non-profit groups, and other valued partners (e.g., Oahu SPCA, the Department of Health, environmental attorneys, developers).
