Creating Environmental Awareness

Our company is committed to reducing our environmental impact. We identify and monitor environmental risks, opportunities, and impacts associated with our business. Priorities include energy efficient technology, water efficiency, waste reduction, and conservation across all properties.

Sun's goal is to achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2035 and Net Zero Emissions by 2045.

Environmental Management

We have implemented a robust management system to effectively evaluate, prioritize, and manage the environmental impacts from operations. This program aligns with the practices of ISO 14001 and is overseen by our Board and leadership. Sun's commitment to environmental management is demonstrated through actions we implement:

  • Ensuring local environmental requirements are followed at our properties through management review.
  • Conducting a materiality assessment, along with developing programs and procedures, to identify how to minimize the environmental impacts of our operations.
  • Providing education to team members on our operational environmental impacts.
  • Educating and engaging residents, guests, and members ("customers") on the benefits of joint participation in energy efficiency opportunities, water reduction, and best practices to reduce waste.
  • Establishing long- and short-term goals to address environmental impacts.
  • Establishing and implementing mechanisms to measure the effectiveness of initiatives to address environmental impacts.
  • Collecting and reviewing environmental impact data to monitor the effectiveness of our programs and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Actively engaging with leadership in the development, implementation, and oversight of environmental initiatives.
  • Complying with national and/or local energy, water, and waste rules; regulations; and requirements.

Carbon Neutral and Net Zero Commitment

Carbon Neutral by 2035 | Net Zero Emissions by 2045

We have identified the impact of climate change on our business as the most material environmental concern. These commitments are part of our concerted effort to significantly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to limit global warming and prevent the adverse effects of climate change.

Our carbon neutral goal is inclusive of emissions from business decisions including operational utility usage, waste, transportation and purchased goods and services.

Our Net Zero goal furthers our commitment to climate action to emissions from our resident utility usage and investments.
