2013/14 Annual Report Lenovo Group Limited
As a new endeavor based on the venture philanthropy
project, Lenovo China focused on education during
fiscal year 2013/14. In cooperation with the YouChange
China Social Entrepreneur Foundation, Lenovo initiated
the Lenovo Flipped Classroom project which is aimed at
providing quality educational resources and experiences
to schools in remote areas in China by utilizing information
technology. In the project, Lenovo has provided its digital
devices as teaching assistance appliances to six schools
in China, and plans to roll out to more schools next year.

The Lenovo China Volunteers Association (LCVA),
a volunteer organization formed by Lenovo China
employees in 2008, now has over 3,500 employee
members and approximately 50 committee members
in China. This program is focused on sustainability
initiatives in China, including narrowing the digital divide,
environmental protection, educational assistance,
poverty alleviation, and disaster relief. China’s LCVA is
instrumental in driving active and ongoing employee
volunteer programs and is a critical component of
Lenovo’s social responsibility initiatives.
Lenovo has a long-standing practice of assisting
communities around the world when disaster strikes.
Lenovo and its employees are committed to helping those
less fortunate and to lend a helping hand to those who
are unable to provide for themselves. In November 2013,
the East Asia Region team rallied to help the people of
the Philippines who were affected by Typhoon Haiyan.
Local country teams collected donations on the ground
and partnered with local relief organizations to send
supplies including food, clothing and medicine to the
affected areas. Also, during FY2013/14, Lenovo donated
US$25,000 to support tornado disaster relief efforts in the
state of Oklahoma in the United States.
Lenovo’s regional offices have established extensive
relationships with their local communities and regional
non-governmental organizations. These regional offices
support education, the environment and social causes
unique to their communities.
Nearly 200 Lenovo North America employees volunteered
to help build seven homes for Habitat for Humanity in 2013.
