CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT
Lenovo’s Environmentally Conscious Products program
focused in FY 2011/12 on the following key areas:
• ProductMaterials,includingtheuseofpost-consumer
recycled content;
• ProductEnergy,includinganewfocusonproduct
carbon footprint; and
• ProductPackaging,includingsizereductionanduse
of environmentally preferable materials
In the product materials area, Lenovo is a leader in the
use of recycled content in PC products, and has made
tremendous progress in the use of post-consumer recycled
content (PCC) plastics. By working with its suppliers to
develop and qualify engineering grades of PCC plastics,
Lenovo has used more than 85 million pounds of plastics
containing recycled content (PCRC) of which nearly 40%
are from Post Consumer or Post Industrial sources.

In using recycled plastics, Lenovo supports its objective
of reducing the carbon footprint of Lenovo products and
through the use of recycled content has avoided the
emission of greater than 47 million pounds of CO2. In
addition to supporting Lenovo’s internal goals, by driving
such high volume demand for engineering grade PCC
plastics, Lenovo is helping to build the infrastructure and
demand for recycled plastic. Consistent with Lenovo’s
commitment to continuous improvement, PCC use is
included in Lenovo’s annual EMS objectives and targets
which apply to all Lenovo Employees.
Increasing the energy efficiency and reducing the carbon
footprint of Lenovo’s products is another ongoing
focus area for Lenovo. Lenovo offers a full complement
of ENERGY STAR® qualified notebooks, desktops,
workstations, monitors, and servers. In 2011, ENERGY
STAR® availability within Lenovo’s current offerings
included:
• Approximately95percentofallnotebookplatforms,
including Think, Idea, and Essential product lines
• Approximately50percentofalldesktopplatforms,
including Think, Idea, and Essential product lines
• Approximately92percentofallworkstationplatforms
(for pre-configured systems)
• Approximately95percentofallmonitors
In addition, many notebook and desktop configurations
offered exceeded the current ENERGY STAR® energy
efficiency criteria by 10% to more than 25%. Seventy-five
percent of all ENERGY STAR® qualified monitors exceeded
the ENERGY STAR® standard by at least 10% with 33%
exceeding the criteria by at least 25%.
Lenovo offers product take-back and recycling programs
for both consumer and business customers worldwide.
Lenovo offers these programs in every country it conducts
business, with many of those programs free to the
consumer. For business customers, Lenovo’s Asset
Recovery Service (ARS) provides computer take-back, data
