Celebrating National Biodiesel Day, Pacific Biodiesel recognized all its employees, including this team from the Hawai’i Island refinery.
Recognition: It’s a Kākou Thing!
Today, on National Biodiesel Day 2025 – proclaimed as “Pacific Biodiesel Day” in Hawaiʻi by Governor Josh Green – we are recognizing our nearly 100 employees statewide.
Bob and Kelly King shared this message in the March 18, 2025 issue of our company’s employee newsletter, Laulima: “Today, as Pacific Biodiesel celebrates 30 years and growing as Hawaiʻi’s only commercial producer of biodiesel, we are honored to recognize all of YOU, our dedicated employees who work together – in the spirit of kākou – to support our company’s mission. We appreciate your passion, innovation and commitment!”
To mahalo our dedicated employees, Pacific Biodiesel gave every employee a gift card from Foodland.
“The community-focused values of Foodland are similar to our own. That’s why Pacific Biodiesel chose today to give each of our employees a Foodland gift card – to support another local company that supports local farmers and food producers that help feed our local communities. Pacific Biodiesel is grateful for the support of our employees and our customers around Hawaiʻi, including Foodland,” said Director of Operations Jenna Long.
Pictured below are group photos from our employee teams around the state as they received their gift cards and special edition of Laulima today!
