Lenovo has officially released its FY 2024/25 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report, marking a pivotal moment in the company’s sustainability journey. With its first generation of ESG key performance indicators nearing completion, this year’s Lenovo ESG Report showcases measurable progress on key objectives and reaffirms the company’s long-term vision for a smarter, more sustainable future.
The report details Lenovo‘s steady progress toward its 2030 emissions reduction targets and its ambitious goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, a commitment validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.
A Year of Acclaim: Global Recognition for ESG Leadership
This year’s Lenovo ESG Report reflects a growing recognition of the company’s comprehensive efforts. Several prestigious organizations have honored Lenovo for its transparent and credible progress, underscoring its industry leadership.
Key achievements include:
- Platinum Recognition from EcoVadis.
- An AAA rating from MSCI ESG Ratings.
- The Gold Award from the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) for Best Corporate Governance and ESG.
- Ranking #8 in Gartner’s Top 25 Global Supply Chain, with an impressive ESG Score of 9 out of 10.
Driving Environmental Progress Through a Circular Economy
A core theme of the report is how Lenovo is accelerating environmental progress by actively participating in the circular economy. This includes the continued integration of closed-loop recycled materials into its products.
Furthermore, Lenovo is empowering customers with sustainability services designed to facilitate repair, recycling, and reuse. These initiatives help extend product lifecycles and ensure valuable materials remain in circulation for longer.
Scaling Social Impact Around the World
Lenovo’s commitment to social impact continues to expand on a global scale. The company’s focus on diversity and inclusion earned it significant recognition as a Best Workplace for People with Disabilities by Disability:IN in the United States, an honor that was extended to the United Kingdom and Brazil this year.
In addition, the company’s dedication to community engagement was on full display during its annual Love on Month of Service. The event saw a record-breaking 44% increase in people reached through the volunteer efforts of Lenovo employees worldwide.
Leading in Governance and Responsible AI
In the realm of governance, Lenovo is reinforcing its “Smarter AI for All” vision with a strengthened internal policy framework. In 2024, the company introduced a comprehensive AI governance policy, aligning with commitments made to global bodies like UNESCO and the European Commission.
This strategic move was further solidified by the appointment of Doug Fisher, who added Chief AI Officer to his existing Chief Security Officer role, embedding responsible innovation at the core of the business.
Looking Ahead
This year marks a significant milestone for Lenovo’s ESG journey, We’re proud of the progress we’ve made and are focused on building the foundation for our next chapter of ESG leadership.
Said Dave Carroll, Lenovo SVP and Chief Legal Officer.
Looking forward, Lenovo remains committed to a collaborative and credible approach to ESG, working with partners, customers, and suppliers to advance a shared vision for a more sustainable and inclusive future.
