At Sun, the first step in being eco responsible is "greening" our business, or minimizing the environmental impact of our own operations. From carbon emissions to energy usage and the efficiency of our datacenters, we are determined to integrate eco principles into every aspect of our operations and deliver value for all of our stakeholders, including the environment. Sun's Carbon FootprintSun is firm in its commitment to a 20 percent reduction of our U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over 2002 levels by 2012, which was made as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Climate Leaders program. We have taken a giant leap in establishing such an aggressive GHG reduction goal. Achieving our goal will take a concerted effort as well as a coordinated strategy, and will involve the following steps:
OpenEcoOpenEco is a new global on-line community that provides free, easy-to-use tools to help participants assess, track, and compare business energy performance, share proven best practices to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and encourage sustainable innovation. Sun's Energy UsageMore than 90 percent of Sun's carbon footprint comes from energy use. We are committed to openly sharing our energy consumption and related greenhouse gas emissions data and encourage other organizations to do the same.
