The Sustainability Business Forum (SBF) requests Hawaiʻi businesses complete survey
Hawaiʻi businesses, especially those sourcing food/beverages, are invited to complete a brief survey to identify barriers to sourcing food locally. The survey should only take a few minutes and is best completed by the person who procures food/beverages. This survey has been distributed by the SBF Local Food Working Group and is intended to identify gaps between local producers and buyers. The information submitted in this survey will not be distributed publicly. Participants are eligible to win a complimentary two-hour tour of Kualoa Ranch’s sustainable operations. For any questions please reach out to Dylan at dylan@hawaiigreengrowth.org.
