Waiakea is the first triple bottom line beverage of its kind, adapting an award-winning platform of healthy, sustainable, and ethical attributes and initiatives. Waiakea’s mission is to sustainably provide naturally alkaline Hawaiian volcanic water with the blessing of indigenous kapuna and konohiki, while contributing to and promoting clean water access, conservation, and education for those in need in Hawai’i and throughout the world.
Our purpose at Waiakea is to create a transformation within the bottled water, beverage, and greater CPG industry, moving away from singular profit and towards a triple bottom line model that emphasizes people and planet.
Waiakea is the first premium water brand in the U.S. to be certified carbon neutral for its many eco-initiatives. These include being the first brand to use 100% RPET (post-consumer recycled/upcycled) bottles that have a 90% smaller C02, energy and water footprint than competitors, as well as using 100% renewable energy to power its bottling operations in Hilo, all while prioritizing source sustainability by bottling only .001% of its 1.4 billion gallon per day Kea’au aquifer source sustainable yield.
For every liter you buy, Waiakea provides a week’s supply of clean water to those in need while contributing to local Hawaiian non-profits in education and conservation through its award-wining Kokua Initiative, which impacted over 20,000 individuals in Hawai’i in 2020 alone.
Since our founding, Waiakea has gone from local, self-distribution to becoming one of the most award-winning and fastest growing premium beverage brands in the United States. Waiakea is now in over 30,000 stores nationally, distributed by more than 30 distributor partners. Current customers include Walmart, Whole Foods, Sam's Clubs, Kroger, Publix, Wawa, Sheetz, GetGo, Safeway, Central Markets, Albertsons and hundreds of other retail, fitness, foodservice, customers across the country alongside thousands of loyal customers online.
We have been featured by Forbes, Environmental Leader, Fortune, Food Navigator and even Good Morning America as one of the most innovative companies out there. If you align with our mission and core values, we would love to have you become a member of our Ohana! For additional information, please visit our website at www.waiakea.com

$75,000-$85,000
Born in Hilo, Hawai’i in 2012, Waiākea® set out to do more than just beverages,
it’s about honoring the land, the people, and the responsibility that comes with both.
As the first premium Hawaiian volcanic water and the first to embrace a triple bottom line, we put aloha ’āina at the heart of everything we do. Caring for people and planet before profit. Sourced with the blessing of indigenous kupuna and konohiki, our water and coffee carry the purity of Hawai’i’s raw and untouched landscape, 2500 miles from the nearest industrial landmass, while fueling a greater purpose: expanding clean water access, championing conservation, and uplifting education in Hawai’i.
