Move faster towards compliance with important sustainability mandates with Lenovo’s greener technology. Our commitment to a light ecological footprint extends across our products, services, and solutions. While specifics vary by product, we’re proud of the progress we’re making creating energy efficient computers and laptops.

• Sustainable manufacturing with post-consumer recycled plastics and less toxic raw materials
• Certified efficiency with ENERGY STAR, Goldstar, EPEAT®, GreenGuard, TCO and VESA certifications
• Innovative green power management features
• Responsible disposal services

Even if you’re only worried about controlling cost, green has something for you too: all of our products meet or exceed major global standards for energy efficiency.

Everyday Energy-Efficient Computing

The U.S. ENERGY STAR program’s energy performance ratings have set the standard for energy efficiency in a broad range of products including electronics, and Lenovo offers a full complement of ENERGY STAR qualified notebooks, desktops, workstations, monitors and servers.

In addition to our certifications, other Lenovo innovations reduce power consumption (and cost).

• Smarter processors dynamically throttled down power consumption when possible
• More efficient hard drives require less power to run and cool
• Longer battery life on portables

Cleaner Manufacturing

Lenovo is committed to developing materials and processes that reduce the impact our manufacturing has on our natural resources and environment.

• External auditing of greenhouse gases (GHG) and product carbon footprint (PCF)
• Global leadership in the use of post-consumer content (PCC) in computing products – putting more than 73 million pounds of PCC materials into our products since 2005
• Lenovo ThinkPad® notebooks and ThinkVision® monitors have earned the UL Environment’s Sustainable Products Certification (SPC), based on rigorous testing of energy efficiency, product design, and material choice
• Our portfolio includes desktops, laptops and monitors that are EPEAT Gold-rated based on meeting dozens of environmental performance criteria
• Select Lenovo desktops, notebooks, workstations and monitors have passed extensive chemical-emissions testing to earn GREENGUARD certification

A Recognized Commitment to Corporate Responsibility

Lenovo knows that sustainability only works as a global priority. We are proud of our consistent participation and leadership in industry working groups and other private-public efforts. The independent research institute Oekom Research AG has recognized our commitment, awarding Lenovo its “Prime” Corporate Rating in praise of our responsibility towards sustainability.

We do more than just manufacture more energy efficient computers, setting important strategic goals for ourselves and our industry.

• Lenovo purchased 10,500 Renewable Energy Credits and 3,000 carbon offsets from Energy Earth Resources
• Lenovo is working with global experts to pilot footprint tests that can help us better measure energy consumption and carbon emissions
• We’re also involved in developing IT-specific questionnaire content for CDP and industry-specific supplements for the GHG Protocol Product Account and Reporting Standard of the World Resources Institute and World Business Council for Sustainable Development

Lenovo’s leadership in the development of more sustainable technology continues to earn us praise and awards from experts and consumers alike. More importantly, we are proud that our products and services are powering greener and smarter ways of working around the world.
