2010/11 Annual Report Lenovo Group Limited 49
In 2010, Lenovo was recognized with multiple awards in
the area of health and safety. Lenovo’s Shenzhen, China
facility was recognized with its sixth consecutive “Safety
Outstanding Contribution” award from the FuTian District
Safety Government Committee in 2010. In addition, the
United States Fulfillment Center (USFC), in Whitsett,
North Carolina will be recognized by the North Carolina
Department of Labor with their third consecutive annual
Gold Award for accident prevention in 2010.
As a major competitor in a high-tech industry,
attracting and retaining top talent is critical to Lenovo’s
performance. Lenovo is recognized as a leading
employer offering competitive compensation packages,
abiding by applicable minimum wage requirements in
every country and region where it operates, providing
equipment that is safe to use, and focusing continually
on preventing injuries.
Women in Lenovo Leadership (WILL) was launched in
2007 on International Women’s Day with the purpose
of addressing key priorities that would support a
woman’s growth and contribution to the company.
WILL involves events, programs and HR processes
to enhance work life balance, mentoring, networking,
training and external partnerships with other players
engaged in initiatives for women. WILL is a global
program with regional leaders in Australia/New Zealand,
Brazil, Canada, China, France, Western Europe, UK,
India, Japan and the U.S. These leaders provide specific
focus in their regions on topics of interest to women in
these regions.
WILL contributes to the overall business strategy of
Lenovo and is therefore a key ingredient to profitability.
Employees have an opportunity to leverage their
experiences and knowledge and expand their growth.
We are uniquely poised to help our company and
organizations successfully maneuver this new diverse,
global reality because we have such a strong foundation
for advocating for, and advancing, inclusion in our
workplace. WILL is an essential part of developing
an outline of how our current and future leaders can
develop and leverage their skills to help make all of our
companies and organizations more successful on a
global scale.
Quality and Safety for Products
Lenovo has a well-earned industry reputation for
delivering superior quality products and is committed
to ensuring that our products are safe throughout their
lifecycle. Lenovo relies on the principles of Life Cycle
Analysis to ensure that every stage of the product’s life
is taken into consideration including manufacturing,
transportation, installation, use, service, and recycling.
This enables Lenovo to have deep insight into
opportunities for risk and cost minimization as well
as insight into new opportunities for enhancing and
increasing product marketability to meet the preferences
of an increasingly informed public.
Corporate strategies, policies and guidelines have been
designed to support Lenovo’s commitment for product
safety. Lenovo strives to ensure that our products meet
all applicable legal requirements and voluntary safety
and ergonomics practices to which Lenovo subscribes
wherever our products are sold.
Lenovo’s global Quality Management System, which
has earned ISO 9001 certification, is committed to the
goals of achieving customer satisfaction, delivering
superior products, solutions, and services, while meeting
customer requirements.
