A Part of our Commercial ESG
Commitment

Smarter builds a more resilient way forward.
At Lenovo, we’re focused on providing smarter technologythat builds a brighter, more sustainable future.
With more than a decade of reporting our sustainability
performance, we have a track record of meeting —and even exceeding — our sustainability goals. We’recommitted to a smarter future, evidenced by our goal of
net-zero emissions by 2050.1“During the last severalyears, the world has
witnessed history quicklyunfold as we live throughsignificant complexity
and uncertainty.

Helping to create acircular economy

This rapidly changing
context urges the global
business community torespond with smarterinnovation and more
responsible operations,seizing every opportunity
to act with a larger
purpose in mind.”

Our four core areas of focus are:Pursuing
emissions reduction

Building more sustainablesupply chains ursuing emissions
Preduction
Lenovo is committed to achieving
net-zero by 2050.
We are working to reduce our carbon footprint fromproduct design and manufacturing to delivery andlifecycle. Lenovo is the first PC and smartphone makerto have targets validated by the Science Based Targets
initiative’s (SBTi) Net-Zero Standard.1

Innovative engineering
We have a broad-based approach that drives innovationin our product design and operations. For instance, ourengineers developed a low-temperature solder (LTS)
technology that allows us to lower the oven temperatureon our manufacturing lines, reducing the energy requiredand associated emissions. LTS has helped us reduce10,000 tons of CO2 emissions since 2017.

On the path to our 2050 goal of net-zerogreenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, ournear-term 2030 reduction targets are:		Reduce absolute Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG
emissions by 50% by FY 2029/30 from a FY
50%
2018/19 base year.		Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions from useof sold products by 35% on average for35%
comparable products within the sametimeframe.		Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions frompurchased goods and services by 66.5% per66.5% million dollars US gross profit within thesame timeframe.		Reduce Scope 3 GHG emissions fromupstream transportation and distribution
25%
by 25% per tonne-kilometre of transported
product within the same timeframe.

The ThinkPad® X1 Fold, poweredby Intel vPro®, An Intel® Evo™
Design, is rated gold by theElectronic Product Environmental
Assessment Tool (EPEAT).2

Helping to create a circular economy
Lenovo wants to make sure what goes aroundcomes around. In contrast to a linear approach, ourend-to-end services embrace a design-use-return
philosophy that optimizes both the technology
experience for your users and the utilization of ourcollective resources. This maximizes the value ofeach product through its lifecycle and helps keep
end-of-life products out of landfills.

End-of-life recycling
Disposal of devices and peripherals is anenvironmental concern that, if not done right, canalso become a security challenge. Lenovo Asset
Recovery Services (ARS) helps keep resources
circulating by reusing parts wherever possible,
refurbishing devices, and recycling assets.

Lenovo TruScale Device as a Service(DaaS)
Utilizing a subscription model is an efficient way tomanage your fleet of end-user devices, optimizing
resources and costs while promoting circularity.
Deploy just what you need and responsibly disposeof what you don’t.

We’ve used over100M

pounds of net recycledplastic in our products and packaging
manufacturing since 2005.

100% of our PC products willcontain post-consumer recycledcontent materials by FY 2025/26.3

76%

By FY 2025/26,of PC
parts returned to our service center
will be repaired for future use.4

Our business laptops,
like the ThinkPad® X1
Carbon powered byIntel vPro®, An Intel®
Evo™ Design, offer
premium warranty
services that extend
their useful life.

Reducingpackaging waste
Lenovo’s packaging engineers never stop
thinking about ways to make our packaging
more sustainable through recycled materials andelimination of plastic. Together with reducing
waste and innovative design, we are helping toreduce packaging’s environmental impact.

Shipping in bulk
We package like devices together to minimize
materials used without jeopardizing shipping
protection integrity.

Shipping lighter packages
We expanded our use of bamboo fiber to include
the ThinkPad X1 retail boxes in FY 2021/22,
reducing the weight by 30% compared to theprevious retail box.

90%of PC products’ plastic packaging
will be made from recycledmaterials by FY 2025/26.5

54 tonsof plastic tape are eliminated from
Lenovo ThinkPad packaging annually.

3,737 metric tonsof packaging consumption by weight havebeen eliminated by Lenovo since 2008.

The Lenovo ThinkPad Carbon X1, poweredby Intel vPro®, An Intel® Evo Design, ispackaged using materials like bamboo andsugarcane, which are 100% rapid-renewable.

Building more sustainablesupply chains
We operate a flexible, resilient global supply chain with
continuous investments in renewable energy projects,
sourcing, transportation, logistics, and end-of-life
management programs. We also work closely with ourpartners to help them meet emissions reduction andsustainability goals.

Product reintegration
Reverse supply chains help us collect products and parts
that still have life or that can be repaired or refurbished
for further use.

ThinkPad products like theThinkPad® X1 Fold,6 poweredby Intel vPro®, An Intel® Evo™
Design, contain recycled plastics
sourced from end-of-life IT andelectronics equipment.

1MWe will remove 1 million tons ofgreenhouse gas emissions from oursupply chain by FY 2025/26.
In 2021, we used 17 million poundsof recycled plastic in our products. In
addition to post-consumer content
plastics, we recently incorporated
recycled aluminum and magnesium
into some of our products.

99%

Our partner Intel® treats andreturns 99% of the water used in its
manufacturing to communities or theenvironment, with a goal of being
water positive by 2030.
