Sustainability is a priority for our customers and we demonstrate that we our operation is clean and ecologically sustainable. Being an organic business that priorities sustainability outcomes Hapī is well ahead with regards to the public groundswell in waste awareness. Our leadership in this area was recognised by our industry body the Restaurant Association who invited us to present a sustainable workshop in Auckland earlier this year.
