Sun’s Open Work Program Recognized for Environmental Innovation
Software giant, Sun Microsystems’s Open Work program has been acknowledged in an Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) report that recognizes innovations in environmental efficiency.
According to the company Open Work program cuts carbon dioxide emissions, reduces real estate costs and improves job satisfaction with additional focus on energy efficient products and greener data centers. A study conducted by Sun found that Open Work employees give 60 percent of their saved commute time back to the company.
In 2007, Sun’s Open Work program prevented an estimated 29,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere while saving the company nearly USD 68 million in real estate costs. Sun’s inclusion in the report was announced in San Francisco at an EDF event.
The company boasts of reducing its own carbon dioxide emissions and computing impact on the planet through innovation in workplace practices, energy efficient products and data center design.
Through Sun’s Open Work program, more than 54 percent Sun’s employees worldwide work from wherever for example from home, in a flexible office, or on a Sun campus. Most Open Work employees use a Sun Ray thin client, an ultra energy efficient, virtualized desktop that draws only 4 watts of electricity as much as the average night light. These employees report to work through a secure Java(TM) technology-enabled ID card, and their files are stored on a central server rather than on an individual PC.
