Bank of Hawaii has been ranked No. 4 among U.S. financial institutions and No. 40 overall in the 2019 “100 Most Sustainable Companies list,” published by Barron’s magazine on Feb. 8.
Bank of Hawaii is the only company in the state to be recognized.
“It is an honor to be recognized as a Most Sustainable Company in the nation. As a company in the Pacific islands, we have a great responsibility to incorporate sustainable practices in everything we do,” said Peter Ho, Bank of Hawaii chairman, president and CEO. “This acknowledgment is a reflection of the great job our employees are doing — from financing renewable energy projects, reducing paper through our digital transformation effort and increasing the use of photovoltaic solar panels on branches/locations to converting to energy-efficiency features and volunteering for community projects that directly impact the environment.”
To determine the ranking, Barron’s partnered with Calvert Research and Management and analyzed the 1,000 largest publicly held U.S. companies (by stock market value) and scored them on more than 200 key indicators and 28 issues on environmental, social and corporate governance factors.
