Sunoco Issues 2009 Corporate Responsibility Report

Sunoco, Inc. (NYSE: SUN) announced today that it has issued its 2009 Corporate Responsibility Report, marking the eighteenth consecutive year that the company has publicly reported its performance.

In 1993, Sunoco became the first Fortune 500 company to endorse the Ceres Principles, a 10-point code of environmental conduct that includes public reporting of environmental performance.

HES data contained in the report reflect the performance of Sunoco’s various business units, as well as individual facilities. In addition, the report reinforces the importance of continuous improvement, discusses challenges anticipated over the next three to five years, and includes anecdotes that highlight various HES-related activities, such as Sunoco’s involvement with Community Advisory Panels.
