Business Conduct

Our Ethics and Compliance Office promotes the highest ethical standards of business conduct and legal compliance. It also oversees the organization’s ethics and compliance program and works in partnership with the business units across the globe to ensure they operate within legal and ethical obligations.

The Ethics and Compliance Office plays a critical role in providing employees with the guidance, resources, and information they need to make informed and appropriate decisions. It’s also responsible for the Lenovo Code of Conduct, which set our clear expectations and guidelines for every employee.

The Code covers many areas of ethical, responsible business practices, such as:

• Anti-Bribery and Corruption, including a policy thatreinforces provisions in the Code and provides additional specific guidance regarding bribery and corruption.
• Anti-Competitive Practices and Fair Competition, including why employees cannot enterinto an agreement or discussion to set prices, limit the availability of goods or services on the market, or boycott a customer or supplier.
• Intellectual Property, including the company policy for employees to avoid any infringement of copyright or other intellectual property rights of other companies and individuals.
• To ensure that our ethical business standards, policies, and practices are being met, our internal audit team conducts about 40-45 advisory projects each year.
