Sun just received recognition from CRO (Corporate Responsibility Officer) as a Top 10 Best Corporate Citizen. Sun was ranked 4th overall against its peers in the Technology Hardware segment.
Pretty cool, huh?! 
The recognition for corporate governance is much appreciated given Sun's steadfast commitment to transparency. Add to this Sun's leadership in and commitment to eco-responsibility, and presuming that Sun continues to deliver positive financial returns---and believe you me: we are all working towards that---I'm confident Sun will continue to receive such distinction.
Climbing the Mountain
This award is great...and not taken lightly...but so what?! The challenge for our Global Citizenship Team is how do we maintain this momentum and how do we bring to reality our Team's vision:
"Sun's leadership and innovation in global corporate citizenship creates positive change."
In thinking about this, I couldn't help but recall some visual props about a personal experience that tell a similar story.
Achieving our vision is a steep mountain to climb....and many others seem to be attempting the same climb....
In fact, we're in the ascent as the award suggests and collaboration is required to reach the top.
We are driven to achieve our vision and have set our goals and strategy. Sun believes everyone has the right to participate on the network. By adhering to a three-pronged strategy---Innovate, Act, and Share---our Global Citizenship Team is driving programs, partnerships and initiatives aimed at achieving Sun's cause to eliminate the digital divide.
Innovate
We innovate in our outreach and by leveraging one of Sun's greatest assets: its employees' willingness to volunteer their talents and skills to make a difference.
Act
Actions speak louder than words. We remain committed to acting in accordance with the highest principles of business conduct.
Share
We share our insights, knowledge and technologies. We learn from the work others are sharing and collaborate to create positive change.
Working together, we will get to the top of that mountain, and achieve our Team's vision.
Your help is appreciated, and your input is welcome. :-)
Cheers!
