More than 90% of reported GHG emissions from our operations are from electricity use in our facilities. The second largest emissions
source is the combustion of natural gas for heating buildings and water. Other sources include the employee shuttle fleet in the San
Francisco Bay Area and backup generators used across the company. Finally, refrigerants and fire suppressants make up a small portion
of total emissions.
In 2004, Sun set a goal to reduce GHG emissions from our U.S. operations by 20% (from 2002 levels) by 2012. We publicly committed to
this as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Leaders program. To help us reach this goal, we've created a
GHG inventory going back to 2002, which we completed during fiscal 2007 for our U.S. operations.
Sun is committed to producing a complete account of our global GHG emissions by the end of the 2007 calendar year. Once this is complete,
we plan to create a company-wide GHG management plan and set a global
reduction target. We expect these to be in place by the end of fiscal 2008. We originally planned to complete these tasks by the end of
fiscal 2007, but this has proved to be very challenging.
