The Makena Group Sustainability Consultants "Green" Education & Non-Profits
The Makena Group, sustainability consultants headquartered in Maui, Hawaii, transform non-profit and education institutions into greener entities.

WAILEA, HI, December 05, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Education and non-profit organizations are evolving into greener entities with the help of a sustainability consulting firm, The Makena Group, headquartered in Maui, Hawaii. They are an affordable and effective way to make sustainability a reality.

More and more Universities and Colleges offer courses and degrees in environmental fields. The Makena Group recently created a sustainable science 4 year degree proposal for the University of Hawaii System. They interviewed Maui's growing sustainable industries to project labor requirements and worked closely with instructors and administrators to craft the proposal. Hawaii has great opportunities for graduates with sustainability degrees as the State implements Sustainability 2050, an inclusive plan for addressing environmental and climate issues amongst other concerns.

Charitable foundations are looking at ways to "green" their non-profit recipients. When it came time for the Case Foundation to evaluate one of the institutes they help fund, the Makena Group was chosen. The Makena Group performed a business audit by benchmarking the best sustainability institutes in the world and making recommendations.

The Makena Group's approach is to work with everyone in the organization to make sustainability a natural part of business for the long term. They draw upon years of experience to create custom strategies and plans to meet the needs of clients. They deliver action, not just consultant speak.
