2011/12 Annual Report Lenovo Group Limited 75
Lenovo has various programs and initiatives designed to
encourage development, networking and executive focus
on women, people with disabilities and minorities. This
is not to exclude any particular group of employees, but
rather to help ensure inclusion of all. One of the company’s
key diversity initiatives is Women in Lenovo Leadership
(WILL).
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 the 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.
Product Safety and Quality
Lenovo has a well-earned industry reputation for delivering
superior quality products and is committed to ensuring
that its 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 to product
safety. Wherever its products are sold, Lenovo strives
to ensure that its products meet all applicable legal
requirements, and those voluntary safety and ergonomics
practices to which Lenovo subscribes.
Lenovo’s global Quality Management System, which has
earned ISO 9001 certification, is committed to the goals
of meeting customer requirements, ensuring customer
satisfaction, and delivering superior products, solutions,
and services.
100% of Lenovo’s products are compliant with RoHS
requirements. Lenovo completed the RoHS transition on
1 October 2007 and all components, commodities, parts
and products have been RoHS compliant since that time.
