Sun's success is underpinned by our global team of dedicated, happy, and healthy employees. Their well being is a priority. And it's not only dependent on a safe working environment, but also on personal health and wellness. We provide our employees with information, tools, and resources to ensure their safety at work — whether in the lab, in the field, in the office, or at home — and encourage them to make healthy choices in their work and home lives.

Our health and safety policies and programs are designed to foster a safe and healthy workplace for all Sun employees, no matter where in the world they work. In addition, all our manufacturing partners are required to adhere to our supply chain Code of Conduct, which includes health and safety policies. Sun's programs include online and instructor-led training on all aspects of health and safety run by our Environment, Health, and Safety group, tailored to specific work functions at Sun. This includes a comprehensive ergonomics evaluation program. Our policies and guidelines ensure compliance with government safety regulations and are consistent with U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and environmental regulations. We periodically audit our employee health and safety programs to ensure that we're in compliance with all laws and regulations, while protecting the well being of our employees, service providers, and contractors.

We offer a range of wellness programs to help our employees make healthy life choices. These include:

  • Fit@Sun: Exercise classes, personal training programs, physical therapy, and massage are offered at our fitness facilities on our U.S. campuses.
  • Health newsletters: Topics covered include prevention and treatment for specific health problems and monthly tips on health and nutrition, including healthy recipes and advice about lifestyle changes to improve health.
  • SunBalance: A work, family, and personal consultation resource designed to help Sun employees deal with stress at work or at home.
