2014/15 Annual Report Lenovo Group Limited
In addition, many available notebook and desktop configurations and qualified monitors exceed the current ENERGY
STAR® energy efficiency criteria by 10 percent to more than 25 percent.
Lenovo offers product take-back and recycling programs for both consumer and business customers worldwide.
Lenovo offers these programs in every country in which it does business, with many of those programs free to the
consumer. For business customers, Lenovo’s Asset Recovery Service (ARS) provides computer take-back, data
destruction, refurbishment and recycling services.
GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAIN
Lenovo is committed to driving sustainable activities through its internal operations as well as in its supply chain.
As a long standing member of the Electronics Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), Lenovo is contributing to the
development and execution of global policies and programs to improve supplier compliance across a broad range of
sustainability and social responsibility criteria.
Lenovo’s supply chain organization implements its own set of programs in support of corporate-wide sustainability
initiatives. These include efforts to proactively address concerns about labor, environmental impacts, greenhouse
gases, water usage, generation of waste and conflict minerals.
First and foremost, suppliers are contractually required through purchase order terms and conditions and other
formal agreements to comply with all legal, regulatory and various additional sustainability requirements. They are
required to implement and maintain documented quality and environmental management systems that meet ISO
9001/14001 requirements, to follow all laws regarding environmental and workplace conditions, to comply with
restricted materials requirements and to provide the necessary declarations.
However to strengthen and to extend those requirements, most suppliers are also contractually required, via a
specific and separate formal agreement, to comply with the EICC Code of Conduct, to reduce environmental
impacts and to conduct specific due diligence activities for responsible sourcing. To address and focus resources
on the greatest risks, Lenovo strives to ensure at least 95 percent of its procurement spend is covered by these
contracts and activities. Approximately 77 percent of Lenovo procurement spend is from suppliers who are EICC
members, and many of the suppliers also have formal certifications for Occupational Health & Safety (OHS 18001)
and Social Accountability (SA8000) standards.
