Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action Policy Statement

Lenovo is an equal opportunity employer. As such, it is the policy of Lenovo to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws governing nondiscrimination in employment and to ensure equal opportunity in all terms, conditions, and benefits of employment or potential employment.

Lenovo prohibits discrimination and harassment against any employee or applicant for employment because of race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other legally protected characteristic.

Lenovo has established Affirmative Action Programs under Executive Order 11246 ("EO 11246"), Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 ("Section 503"), and the Vietnam Era Veteran’s Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 ("VEVRAA"). Lenovo engages in affirmative action measures to ensure that qualified applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during employment, without regard to their race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other legally protected characteristics. Lenovo has established an audit and reporting system to allow for effective measurement of its affirmative action activities.

To implement this policy, Lenovo will:

(1) Recruit, hire, train and promote qualified persons in all job titles, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other legally protected group status;

(2) Ensure that employment decisions are based only on valid job requirements; and

(3) Ensure that all personnel actions and employment activities such as compensation, benefits, promotions, layoffs, return from layoff demotion, transfer, termination, demotion, transfer, termination, Lenovo sponsored programs, and tuition assistance will be administered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other protected group status.

Employees and applicants for employment will not be subjected to harassment, intimidation, threats, coercion or discrimination because they have engaged or may engage in (1) filing a complaint, (2) opposing any act or practice made unlawful by, or exercising any other right protected by, any Federal, State or local law requiring equal opportunity, including Section 503, the affirmative action provisions of VEVRAA, and EO 11246 or (3) assisting or participating in any investigation, compliance evaluation, hearing, or any other activity related to the administration of any Federal, State or local law requiring equal opportunity, including Section 503, the affirmative action provisions of VEVRAA, and EO 11246. Employees who believe they are being or have been unlawfully discriminated or retaliated against must immediately report the incident to their manager or senior management, Lenovo Human Resources, Ethics & Compliance (via ethics@lenovo.com or the LenovoLine), or the Lenovo Legal Department. Lenovo does not authorize or condone unlawful discrimination or retaliation. If any employee is found to have unlawfully discriminated or retaliated against any other employee, appropriate disciplinary action up to and including termination will be taken.

All employees are expected to adhere to both the spirit and the letter of this long-standing Lenovo policy.

Kirk Skaugen, Executive Vice President of Lenovo and President, Infrastructure Solutions Group, reaffirms support for the EEO policy and the affirmative action program and delegates overall responsibility for the implementation of the affirmative action activities to Lenovo’s Chief Diversity Officer.
