Our Story Through Time
At Our Core, Our Owner-Employees
In 1959, HPM began an employee profit-sharing plan. Then in 1977, we became one of Hawaii's first companies to establish an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Today, employees own 100% of company stock through the ESOP.
After a year of employment (and at least 1,000 hours worked), employees become part of our ESOP — meaning they're not just employees, but owners. Owner-employees are motivated to meet goals by providing exceptional customer service, maximizing sales, minimizing expenses, and operating within our core values of Heart, Character, and Growth.
Building Community
It's our community that has invested in and supported us for over 100 years that we feel it's only right to reinvest back in our community. The HPM Foundation provides monetary donations to local nonprofits. In recent years, we've supported the American Heart Association Hawaii, American Cancer Society, Habitat for Humanity (all islands), Big Brothers Big Sisters, Hawaii Literacy, Hawaii Land Trust, Hawaii Humane Society, and the University of Hawaii System & Foundation.
