In Hawaiian, “pono” means righteous, correct, responsible– or simply put– “doing the right thing.” The IDG approach to energy development is sustainable, integrated, systemic, and, above all: PONO.
Our Native-to-Native model means our projects are ALWAYS culturally appropriate, socially responsible, environmentally sustainable and economically equitable.
We advocate for new Policies, use an Open and transparent process, insist on No violations or damage to host cultures or the environment and ensure Opportunities for the community to participate and benefit.
