Lenovo Named to Carbon Clean List

Lenovo announced content from “As You Sow“ and “Corporate Knights“ naming the company to its 2019 Q1 Carbon Clean 200 list. The corporation also received the CDP China Influence Award on Climate Change Mitigation from CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project.)

As one of the Clean 200 companies, Lenovo is helping with solutions to move to a clean energy future. Engineers are driving innovations in product environmental design through the use of post-consumer recycled content materials and in new packaging designs made with renewable materials like bamboo and sugar cane fibers. Many Lenovo products are EPEAT registered, reflecting commitments in product design and manufacturing and supply chain sustainability practices.

The CDP “China Influence Award on Climate Change Mitigation“ award goes to the Chinese company receiving the second highest ranking based on their CDP performance. CDP collects information on climate risks and low carbon opportunities from the world’s largest companies to compile a global disclosure system that enables companies to measure and manage their environmental impacts. In 2018, more than 7,000 companies disclosed through CDP.

“Lenovo is committed to reducing our impact on the environment by improving the efficiency of our own operations and by providing products and solutions to our customers that have a lower carbon footprint.“ said John Cerretani, Lenovo’s Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer. “I’m really proud of the work our engineers are doing to drive innovations that directly lower carbon emissions for Lenovo and our customers.“
