Corporate Responsibility

Overview

Throughout Sun's history, we've implemented programs and practices that reflect our long-held values and address our corporate responsibility. We're committed to meeting the needs of not only our stakeholders — our customers, employees, investors, and partners — but of the global community as well.


Highlights
Eco Responsibility
Sun leads the industry in offering a portfolio of eco responsible products and services that deliver powerful, sustainable, energy-efficient computing solutions that don't compromise on capacity and security. Our Eco Responsibility Initiative also focuses on how we run our business, and includes efforts to shrink our carbon emissions, develop an alternative-energy strategy, and otherwise reduce the environmental impact of our operations. » Learn more

Business Practices
At Sun, we strive to bring corporate responsibility to every aspect of our business. We've institutionalized strong principles of corporate governance. We support open source initiatives that increase access to technology. And we work diligently to ensure the privacy and security of our customers. We're committed to managing a responsible and diverse supply chain that's consistent with our high standards for environmental and business practices. » Learn more

Global Citizenship
Sun conducts business in more than 100 countries, so we're in a unique position to make a positive impact on a global scale. We do this through innovative programs that help eliminate the digital divide. These programs range from helping children in China receive a primary education to bringing network infrastructure to schools. What's more, through Sun Microsystems Global Citizenship, we match our employees' charitable donations. » Learn more

Workplace
We believe our corporate responsibility begins "at home," with our employees. We're proud of our efforts to foster an inclusive global workforce, while also engaging those employees in programs designed to meet our eco and social responsibility goals and commitments. Key workplace initiatives include our Open Work program, waste-reduction and recycling efforts, and support for Employee Affinity Groups. We also seek to engage our employees in community-investment and development initiatives that serve the communities where we live and operate. » Learn more
