Lenovo’s emission reduction targets have been assessed and approved as science-based by Science Based Targets initiative on June 30, 2020. Click here to read our white paper Addressing Climate Change at Lenovo: “Lenovo’s Journey to Science-Based Targets” for more information.
Each year, as part of our EMS process, we set company-wide objectives and targets (O&Ts). These O&Ts address areas identified as significant for Lenovo, and, with regard to climate change, include energy consumption, associated GHG emissions, and resulting climate change impacts.Each year, as part of our EMS process, we set company-wide objectives and targets (O&Ts).

In designing our solutions, we seek prioritize energy efficiency first, driving installation of onsite renewable energy generation second and purchasing renewable energy commodities or carbon offsets third.In designing our solutions, we seek prioritize energy efficiency first, driving installation of onsite renewable energy generation second and purchasing renewable energy commodities or carbon offsets third.
In addition to initiating projects to improve energy efficiency and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions across our organization, we are looking to increase Lenovo's use of renewable energy globally.
