“We looked within the IT department and recognized its electronic waste and energy consumption impact on the environment. We realized we had an opportunity for positive environmental change and to make sustainability gains with help from partners like Lenovo. This led to planning discussions related to more sustainable procurement and packaging practices.”

Senior Director, IT Asset Management Services, Bristol Myers Squibb

At-a-Glance

Shaping more sustainable IT procurement

By working with Lenovo to identify more sustainable shipping and packaging options, Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS) is finding more ways of procuring the hardware it needs to power its global biopharma operations—driving reductions in emissions from new IT purchases and minimizing its environmental impact.

Customer Opportunity

On a mission to minimize the impact of its operations, BMS is looking for more opportunities to cut emissions and waste from its hardware supply chain.

Lenovo Solution

Helping BMS transition from air freight to ocean freight, when possible, can cut carbon emissions. Choosing bulk packaging offerings, when they are available, can help reduce BMS' packaging footprint.

Business Impact

In 2023, BMS estimates it saved approximately 70 metric tons of CO2 emissions with ocean freight and achieved an additional 10-15% reduction in emissions through bulk packaging services.

“The improvements that we’re making to our IT operations with the collaboration of Lenovo are another important step in our journey to net zero.”

Devin Carsdale, Associate Director of Sustainability for Strategic Sourcing & Procurement, Bristol Myers Squibb
