MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
One of the pillars of Matson’s corporate culture has been its long-standing tradition of community involvement. It starts with a desire to improve the communities in which we work and live. Our employees are active in their communities and Matson encourages their participation by magnifying their contributions. Directed by employee Foundation committees and including matches of employee donations, Matson’s community giving reached $2 million in cash plus in-kind services valued at $930,000 in 2016—a new high-water mark for our company, and a reflection of our continued growth last year. This year’s Manifest provides some insight into Matson’s support for more than 700 organizations in Hawaii and Alaska, around the Pacific and on the U.S. mainland last year. It’s also a tribute to the people who make this support possible, highlighting some Matson employees whose leadership in their communities is representative of so many more across our network that embody the giving spirit of Matson.

Matson offers two land-based environmental programs which promote cleanup projects that address littering and dumping, and reduce danger to marine life from debris entering streams and near-shore areas. Non-profit groups coordinate volunteers who conduct approved cleanup projects to receive a cash donation. Matson provides the use of container equipment and pays for related trucking expenses, and for debris disposal fees.
In 2016, Matson donated to 164 non-profits through these two programs; including all The Roosevelt High School football Above: Charities bring their own enthusiasm—and wear their own apparel— team cleaned up Ala Moana Beach Park related expenses, close to $185,000 was to the cleanups.

Many of the Oahu cleanups are conducted in partnership with the City & County of Honolulu, improving popular parks and beach parks. Across the state, about eleven cleanups were conducted each month.

The 2016 LeadOn! youth conference, produced by the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault for teens from villages and towns across Alaska, was boosted by a workshop led by Matson-sponsored Iditarod musher Aliy Zirkle. Having completed her sixteenth journey across the thousand mile route, Aliy offered inspiration as a model of endurance, determination and respect for self and others. Matson is working with Aliy and ANDVSA to expand participation in the conference to inspire more youth involvement in their communities.
