The DAWSON companies— collectively known as DAWSON—are subsidiaries of the Hawaiian Native Corporation (HNC), a Native Hawaiian Organization (NHO) Federally-certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration since 2004.
Rooted in the Hawaiian values of aloha (embodying humility, respect, and compassion for all) and ʻohana (family), DAWSON carries forward a kuleana (responsibility) to benefit the Native Hawaiian community.

Our industry roots extend back to 1994, when founder Christopher Dawson started Dawson Environmental Services as a boutique environmental firm in Honolulu. More than 25 years later, DAWSON operates around the globe, dedicated to making a difference in our communities.
