Honesty
We bring everyone together each month for an AllHands meeting — where we present open-book financials, reveal and discuss plans, celebrate business successes and admit shortcomings — so each employee knows what’s going on in their company and sees their role in our collective impact. We cater food that day, so folks can spend time with each other – especially across teams to generate awareness and appreciation for the many roles and cool people here. Folks doing this important work deserve to know what’s going on and to bring your passion and ideas to make it even better.

Clean Energy Digs & Fleet
SunCommon operates from energy-positive headquarters in Waterbury, Vermont and Rhinebeck, New York. Our buildings have no furnace and don’t burn fossil fuel. The solar panels atop the buildings provide all our energy to electrify, heat and cool these facilities. Electric vehicle charging stations provide free fuel for employee cars, and we’ve made a pledge to only procure Electric Vehicles for any application available – having electrified our sedan fleet for now and eagerly awaiting pollution-free trucks.
All of Us
Oh, and SunCommon® of course is an equal opportunity employer and we don’t tolerate harassment or other discrimination based upon sexual orientation, gender identity, marital status, caregiver status, pregnancy, military or veteran status, race, color, religion, national origin, place of birth, ancestry, age, physical or mental disability or genetic information. For real.
