What ALOHA actually does

ALOHA makes plant-based protein bars, mini bars, protein powders and protein drinks. Every product is USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, and the range is vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free and free of stevia and sugar alcohols. The core bar delivers 14g of plant protein with 5g of sugar or less and 10g of fiber.

The company has been employee-owned since 2017 and is a Certified B Corp. Its drinks are Fair Trade Certified, and it buys carbon credits to offset all of its emissions under the Climate Label (formerly Climate Neutral) certification. Its Special Edition bars source ingredients from sustainable farms in Hawai’i and send 10% of proceeds to the youth conservation non-profit Kupu.

Why this belongs on a sustainability directory

ALOHA shifts everyday protein consumption toward organic plant sources, which supports SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) through sustainable agriculture and sourcing from small Hawai’i farms. Its low-sugar, allergen-free formulations serve SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being), reinforced by its partnership with Shoulder Check on youth mental wellness. Fair Trade drinks, organic certification and full carbon offsetting tie its supply chain to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and employee ownership plus B Corp governance keep those commitments accountable.
