Description

Hawaiian Mahogany Inc. is a privately held corporation founded in 1996 with headquarters in Lawai on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. The company leads the movement in sustainable energy and carbon sequestering forestry practices.

If your company needs to achieve maximum value out of the dollars you pay for carbon penalties, committing to alternative energy sources and a balanced carbon footprint is a competitive advantage in any economy. Just ask companies like Nike, Bosh, Allstate, Delta Airlines, Polaroid and Dell, which all buy carbon offset credits from major brokers like the Chicago Climate Exchange. Choose a domestic, sustainable approach and verified carbon credits, too. The advantage to partnering with Hawaiian Mahogany for verified carbon credits is that we are a US-based company that also produces alternative energy sources and products like sustainable lumber, bio fuels, onsite hydroelectric power, organic fertilizer, and cattle feed. We help ensure that your company is positioned as a leader in environmental responsibility.

Hawaiian Mahogany Inc. was founded in 1996 and is based in Kauai, Hawaii. The company is a pioneer in developing an integrated fully-sustainable forestry operation that helps stop global warming by sequestering approximately 130,000 tons of carbon per year. We are committed to bringing to market global warming solutions. The company developed planting strategies with complementary tree species that require virtually zero inputs of fertilizers, pesticides or external energy. As of June 2008, Hawaiian Mahogany has captured and sequestered approximately 500,000 tons of carbon dioxide in woody biomass and mineral soil on former sugarcane plantation land. Hawaiian Mahogany bases its planting strategy on a careful combination of high-value lumber trees with high-production nitrogen fixing species that create a self-fertilizing system, which could help stop global warming. With electricity from on-site hydroelectric generation, along with on-site bio fuel sources and proposed wind turbine installations, the companyâ??s operations are a model for sustainable agricultural farming.

Carbon credits are a growing venue for businesses that want to help stop global warming. The principle behind carbon credits is this: companies that generate carbon can contribute to industries that sequester, or remove, carbon from the atmosphere by purchasing carbon credits to offset their own green house gas production. A companyâ??s level of carbon contribution from activities like energy use is called a "carbon footprintâ? and refers to carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas. A company can balance its carbon footprint by buying carbon credits from Hawaiian Mahogany. By purchasing these carbon credits, you are supporting a large, sustainable, verifiable forestation project and thus investing in a global warming solution. With your investment in Hawaiian Mahoganyâ??s carbon credits, your company can balance its carbon footprint. Carbon credits enable a company to take verifiable responsibility for the environmental impact of its operations. And that is worth marketing to your customers.
