Sustainability Report
People are at the center of everything we do and every decision we make.
We are committed to prioritizing safety, developing our workforce, and respecting human rights. As community members, we invest significantly in major projects and local goods and services, create jobs, and generate revenues for local communities. We contribute to local communities, so that actions today might enable future generations to meet their needs.
Camelina Harvest Day
This spring, Par Hawaii, in partnership with Pono Pacific, facilitated Camelina Harvest Day, an employee and family event at Kuilima Farm on Oahu’s North Shore. Pono Pacific is a local land conservation company partnering with us to conduct field trials and develop camelina and other energy crops in Hawaii.
Hawaii has a rich history of producing agricultural products like sugarcane and pineapples. Over the last few decades, much of this agricultural land has laid fallow. Camelina and other energy crops provide an opportunity to reinvigorate Hawaii’s land resources and enable a local supply chain for renewable feedstocks.
We partner with the Special Olympics.
As a mission partner of Special Olympics Hawaii, we help the nonprofit organization to achieve its mission of providing year-round sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, giving them continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills, and friendship with their families, other Special Olympics athletes and the community. In addition to raising more than $100,000 in donations each year, Par employees and their families volunteer their time to participate in numerous Special Olympics Hawaii sporting and fundraising events.
Disaster Relief
Par Hawaii's Response to Fires in Maui
When fires tragically impacted the lives and livelihoods of the people of Maui in 2023, it moved all of Par Hawaii, and Par Pacific, with compassion. Being part of the Hawaii landscape is more than just business for us. It’s personal. Par Pacific has been part of the island community for over a decade and as a company, feels a great connection to the people of Hawaii. In sum, Par Pacific and its affiliates contributed over $250,000 to provide relief to the people of Maui.
Community Engagement
We champion local communities.
Each year, Par Pacific contributes to local community needs. We bring energy and investment to our communities. We believe that our contributions should be community-led, and as such, regular support and engagement with community organizations is one way we promote sustainability.
Political Engagement
We support energy security.
Par Pacific engages with the executive branch, Congress and state officials to provide our perspectives on energy issues. We engage in the public policy process through indirect lobbying and by participating in select business and policy organizations that advocate positions that support fair and responsible energy policies as well as free markets. We believe that our presence is an effective way to help shape the positions to align with our values and experiences. Our political activities comply with Federal and State laws.
