Our Corporate Governance Guidelines set forth a framework for our Company with respect to specific corporate governance practices. The guidelines are reviewed at least annually by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, as well as amended from time to time to continue evolving our ESG practices. With a focus on delivering long-term stockholder value, the backbone of our corporate governance program is to provide transparent disclosure to all stakeholders on an ongoing and consistent basis.

Supporting the island communities where we do business has always been a priority. First Hawaiian is the only Hawaii bank to earn an Outstanding rating for Community Reinvestment over nine consecutive FDIC evaluation periods since 1995 and has led the for-profit companies in Hawaii Business magazine’s “Hawaii’s Most Charitable Company” for the past 10 years.

Our current initiatives focus on energy and greenhouse gas reductions, limiting paper waste, increasing recycling efforts, advising on sustainable transactions, conserving energy and encouraging employees to use environmentally friendly forms of transportation. Ensuring the implementation of sustainable practices ultimately serves the long-term interest of our stockholders, our customers, our employees and the communities in which we work and live.
