ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY |
We're Committed to Sustainable Growth and Ethical Economic DevelopmentMaui Skydiving acknowledges the environmental impacts associated with skydiving and aviation in general, and recognizes that it is challenging to adopt completely green practices due to limited technological advancements. However, we are committed to taking responsible steps to mitigate our carbon footprint. As part of our efforts, we share a portion of our revenue with organizations at the forefront of climate change combat.
How do we do this? Each month, we employ a Carbon Offset Calculator to determine the amount of carbon emissions we have released into the local environment. Based on this calculation, a corresponding dollar value is generated and donated to the Maui Nui Marine Resource Council. This organization is dedicated to preserving healthy coral reefs, ensuring clean Maui ocean water, and promoting abundant native fish populations. Our donation amount is directly proportional to our flight activity. Therefore, the more we fly, the greater the contribution we make towards supporting these vital environmental initiatives. While we strive to adopt greener practices in the future, our current efforts reflect our commitment to making a positive impact on the environment and supporting crucial causes. We aim to be PONO (to do what is right!). |
OUR BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
Maui Skydiving is an active participant in the "Matt St-Louis Employee-Owned and Operated Initiative," demonstrating our strong commitment to maintaining ownership and management control within the hands of our dedicated employees and founders. We firmly believe that companies run by their employees exhibit higher ethical standards, deliver superior customer service, and offer better employment opportunities compared to those operated by external interests, who may not be directly affected by the consequences of their financial decisions.
An owner who uses his tools to perform daily work, is more likely to purchase better tools
Similarly, our employee-ownership model fosters a sense of responsibility and dedication among our team members, which translates into a higher quality of service for our valued customers. This approach also contributes to the growth of the local economy, as a significant portion of our profits is reinvested into the Maui community, primarily benefiting its residents. We take pride in supporting our local community and strive for a more equitable and prosperous future together.
