Global Green 100

Wednesday May 13, 2009

Sun continues to focus on eco-efficiency and greening its business. It's nice to work for a company that wants to do the right thing for the environment and the communities where its facilities are located.

Sun has been named to the Uptime Institute's Global Green 100 list. The role highlights the significant energy efficiency achievements of global corporations that have demonstrated a board-level policy and governance commitment to increasing energy efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint of their enterprise IT and datacenter operations. You can see the whole list of 100 here.

"Being named to the Uptime Global Green 100 is a shining recognition of Sun's continued commitment to eco-innovation," said Subodh Bapat, vice president and distinguished engineer for Energy Efficiency at Sun. "We've developed a solid blueprint for green datacenter leadership which we can deliver through Sun Services. Additionally, we have delivered innovative servers, storage, and service products in order to make computing more sustainable and to help drive significant efficiencies in terms of cost, electricity and overall carbon savings to both Sun and its customers."

"Sun's effective leadership in 'greening' its own enterprise demonstrated an outstanding commitment to energy efficiency for the betterment of its own business performance and the eco-sustainability of our planet," said Ken Brill, executive director of the Uptime Institute. "The Uptime Institute is proud to recognize Sun with this distinguished achievement."

And we're proud to be so recognized. :-)
