2009 Corporate Social Responsibility Report

 

As we ready ourselves for the next phase in Sun's evolution as a technology and innovation leader, we do so knowing that no matter what form our company takes, our long-term business success depends on a healthy planet and thriving communities. With that in mind, we proudly introduce our 2009 Corporate Social Responsibility report.

Overview

This year's report is unlike any other we've released. It contains more data than we've been able to provide in past reports: more eco responsibility data, including increased data on water usage, waste, and product takeback; more supply chain greenhouse gas emissions data and other supplier information; and more data on corporate governance, including news of the dramatic jump in our S&P Index score (from 61.5% to 99.6%) and in our Industry Index score (from 94.8% to 100%).

At the same time, we make no short- or long-term commitments as we strive to strike the right balance between openness, sharing, and transparency and the realities of our current business situation. And as Sun's future comes into sharper focus, we'll continue to rely on the courage and integrity of our employees and partners to keep Sun's sustainability journey moving forward – one step at a time.

Eco Responsibility

Use less, waste less, be restorative. These are the underpinnings of Sun's approach to eco responsibility. As we pursue these goals, we'll continue to bring our technology expertise to bear on the global challenges brought on by climate change, and we'll continue enlisting employees, customers, partners, and other stakeholders in an open dialogue about our progress.


Our People

Sun strives for a workplace that celebrates inclusion, promotes wellness, demands safety, and values flexibility. Our employees are our #1 asset, and we aim to create a work environment in which they feel as appreciated as they are.


The Network

The power of participation on the network cannot be overstated. That's why we do what we can to ensure the network stays open, accessible, and safe for anyone and everyone.


Our Suppliers

Whether ordering paper for our hundreds of offices around the globe, building servers for our multinational customers, or delivering spare parts to customers around the world, Sun's commitment to fair labor, ethics, human rights, and eco responsibility throughout our supply chain never wavers.


Global Citizenship

We all have the power to change our world. At Sun, we support employee and community efforts to do just that. Through volunteering, donations, and employee gift-matching programs, Sun works to engage our employees and partners in the business of citizenship.
