Lenovo views diversity as a key competitive advantage for the company and believes that leveraging our cultural,
national and regional differences enables us to better understand our customers and address their needs. We
believe that our diversity sets us apart and differentiates us from our competitors. Having a workforce composed of
people from various backgrounds and cultures enables us to capitalize on diverse perspectives in the development,
manufacturing, and marketing of our products.
Diversity 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 to grow their careers. We are uniquely
positioned to help our company successfully maneuver this new global reality because we have a strong foundation
for advocating for and advancing inclusion in our workplace. Learning to harness diversity as a strength is an
essential competency and skill that our current and future leaders can develop and leverage to help make our
business more successful on a global scale.
We passionately believe that by leveraging both the similarities and differences of our diverse workforce we are
uniquely able to meet the needs of our diverse customer set, attract, develop and retain top talent, and create a
workplace where employees are inspired to achieve their greatest potential.
In 2010 Lenovo launched “The Lenovo Way.” It is embodied in the statement: “We do what we say and we own
what we do.” It unites our diverse workforce by aligning around the same goals and strategy to keep us winning in
