Ethics and Compliance at Lenovo
Lenovo promotes an organizational culture that
encourages the highest ethical standards of business
conduct and a commitment to compliance with all laws
wherever we operate. Lenovo’s Ethics and Compliance
Office works in partnership with our business units across
the globe to ensure they operate within the letter and
spirit of our legal and ethical obligations. The Office plays
a critical role in providing the resources and information
employees need to make well-informed choices and
decisions.
An integral part of our ethics and compliance program is
Lenovo’s Code of Conduct that applies to all employees
worldwide, describes clear expectations, and holds
employees accountable for their behavior. The Code is
available in seven languages and is accessible on our
website along with other corporate policies at
http://www.lenovo.com/CSRPolicies. Each newly hired
Lenovo employee receives training and information about
our ethics and compliance program, and all employees are
required to participate in subsequent mandatory training
sessions held on a regular basis.
Employees are directed to report to their managers or
other company resources, including Human Resources,
the Ethics and Compliance Office, Internal Audit,
Corporate Security, or the Legal Department, any
information pertaining to:
• Fraud by or against Lenovo
• Unethical business conduct
• Violation of legal or regulatory requirements
• Substantial and specific danger to health and safety,
or
• Violation of Lenovo’s corporate policies and
guidelines, in particular its Code of Conduct.
Lenovo provides formal, confidential ways to report
potential violations of law, company policy or the Code
of Conduct, including the LenovoLine, a confidential
reporting system available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week. Where allowed by law, employees may
anonymously report concerns about business practices.
All reported concerns are addressed and tracked to
resolution.
Lenovo has a clear non-retaliation policy, and will not
tolerate harassment, retaliation, discrimination or other
adverse action against an employee who:
• Makes a report in good faith
• Provides information or assists in an investigation
regarding such a report, or
• Files, testifies or participates in a legal or
administrative proceeding related to such matters.
Employee Health and Welfare
At Lenovo, our commitment to the health and safety
of all our employees is ingrained in the company’s
culture. We believe that workplace injuries and illnesses
are preventable, and as a result our incident rate is
consistently significantly below the industry average.
Lenovo’s Occupational Health and Safety organization
is committed to ensuring the implementation of an
effective health and safety management system that
includes programs that are designed to meet or exceed
regulatory compliance. All our global manufacturing
locations are OHSAS 18001 certified by Bureau Veritas.
In addition all our manufacturing locations go through a
rigorous internal audit process to ensure a high level of
regulatory and OHS compliance. Lastly, this past year,
all China manufacturing locations were certified to meet
requirements of the national Work Safety Standardization
law.
