SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
With suppliers responsible for roughly half the company’ s carbon footprint, Lenovo treats every partner as a co-designer of its climate plan rather than an observer.
Platforms like Lenovo 360 Circle and the Supplier Emissions Reduction Programme cover almost all procurement spend, giving partners a shared space to compare data, improve reporting and set Science- Based Targets. Nearly all suppliers disclose climate data through CDP, which gives Lenovo a clear map of where energy and emissions improvements sit.
The partnership work then jumps from data to action. Group renewable energy purchasing in Guangdong helps suppliers secure clean power at scale and keeps costs stable. Lenovo’ s energy-saving workshops bring factories, engineers and specialists together to build efficiency plans side by side. The result is a supply chain that behaves like a learning network, where peers support each other and climate progress becomes collective. This partnership-led model strengthens resilience, cuts emissions and builds a technology ecosystem that grows with shared accountability rather than isolated effort.
