Kamehameha Schools

Kamehameha Schools (KS) is a Native Hawaiian educational trust and is one of the largest organizations in Hawaiʻi. KS operates an educational system that includes preschools, three K-12 campuses, community education, and scholarships across the Hawaiian Islands. In addition, KS is the largest private landowner in the State, stewarding 10% of Hawaiʻi’s land-base with a major stake in native forestry. Lotus, in partnership with Sustainable Pacific, conducted a greenhouse gas inventory and carbon stock assessment for KS. Guided by this data, the Consultant Team provided carbon reduction recommendations as well as a carbon stock and sequestration opportunities analysis.
