Workplace

Global Inclusion

Sun operates in the global marketplace, serving a wide range of customers. We believe it is essential to cultivate a workplace that embraces people from diverse backgrounds, values a broad spectrum of perspectives, and inspires employees to work together toward their goals and those of our business. We are committed to cultivating an inclusive workplace that serves to attract, retain, and develop talented employees.

Using the Global Inclusion model, we have identified opportunities to strengthen Sun's systems and processes, which we are now working toward. For instance, we are establishing goals for each of the areas of the model. This comprehensive approach is intended to encourage partnerships across the company, resulting in collaboration and the collective ownership of "Inclusion at Sun."

Some of Sun's Global Inclusion strategic partners include:

• American Foundation for the Blind
• Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology
• Aurora Network
• Executive Leadership Council
• Executive Women's Forum
• Information Technology Senior Management Forum

Employee Resource Network

To help us foster a more inclusive workforce, Sun builds relationships with external organizations to promote the hiring of diverse talent. We also support and manage an Employee Resource Network (ERN). The ERN is a community of Sun employees, including councils and employee resource groups that supports the work of Global Inclusion. It serves as an advocate for Sun and acts as the "voice of the customer" for company initiatives. The ERN promotes internal awareness and helps retain employees, customers, partners, developers, and suppliers.

Currently, Sun supports a variety of employee resource groups, such as:

• Asian American Diversity Network
• Black Employee Network
• Executive Diversity Council
• Gays, Lesbians, and Friends
• Global Inclusion Community
• Legal Diversity Council
• Society of Latinos
