Today shows that caring for the environment is not something secondary in our society. Forcibly, we are all increasingly aware of the importance of protecting the planet and we are implementing measures to be more respectful of nature. In this sense, Lenovo has positioned itself as a benchmark in technology due to its strong commitment to sustainable development.
Each and every one of us wants to leave a better world for our children than the one we live in now. That is why it is so important that firms like Lenovo base their strategy on a vision of a green future that is precisely in line with what is described in the recently approved Sustainable Business Reporting Law.
This new European standard, approved by the Government last October, promotes the transparent disclosure of a company’s environmental, social and governance performance, and here Lenovo not only complies with the ordinance but exceeds these expectations.
Lenovo bets everything on green
Sustainability is not just a trend, but an urgent need that companies must meet to ensure a sustainable future. In this sense, Lenovo is a leader with services and innovations that combine technology, environmental responsibility and circular economy.
With its expertise in asset management and carbon offsetting, the brand becomes an ideal partner for organizations working with society to achieve environmental goals.
In what way? In many different ways.
Giving new life to your devices
Lenovo Asset Recycling Services (ARS) solves one of today’s biggest problems: the environmental impact of electronic waste. Given that 70% of toxic waste comes from this type of waste, ARS offers comprehensive solutions for end-of-life management of IT equipment, regardless of the brand.
This service allows you to repurchase old equipment acquired during the pandemic, encouraging its restoration or responsible recycling. In addition, Lenovo provides cleaning, hardware recycling, and data recycling according to current regulations.
In the end, he thinks that recycled assets can even generate income that can offset the cost of purchasing new equipment, thus contributing to a more economical and sustainable technological transition.
Circular economy
With Windows 10 end of support coming into effect, businesses also have the opportunity to adopt more flexible and sustainable procurement models. Lenovo’s TruScale Everything as a Service offering proposes a pay-as-you-go model that allows organizations to tailor technology to their specific needs, avoiding unnecessary use of resources.
This model not only reduces the environmental impact by minimizing electronic waste, but also guarantees responsible management throughout the entire life cycle of the devices, from their implementation to their retirement.
Nor can we forget the Device as a Service (DaaS) strategy in which, at the end of the useful life of a piece of equipment, it is not disposed of, but is recovered and restored with the aim of optimizing business resources.
Reducing your carbon footprint with CO2 offset
Lenovo reinforces this commitment to the environment with its CO2 offset service, a solution that allows the company to offset the carbon emissions produced by its devices throughout their life cycle.
This service calculates the emissions associated with the manufacturing, transportation and use of each piece of equipment, and offsets them through projects endorsed by initiatives such as the Gold Standard and the UN. To guarantee complete transparency in this process, clients receive a report with all kinds of details that allow them to demonstrate a tangible commitment to sustainability, also improving their corporate reputation.
Minimizing energy consumption
Energy is one of the key points of sustainability, and here Lenovo also stands out with technologies such as the Lenovo Neptune liquid cooling system, which reduces data center energy consumption by up to 40%, optimizes resources and reduces the environmental impact.
It also allows companies to accurately manage the carbon footprint of all enterprise IT equipment, providing data and tools to make responsible and environmentally friendly decisions.
Cooperation with clients
Lenovo has not only changed the way it works internally, but also works closely with customers in different sectors to reduce the environmental impact of its technology.
With products covering hardware, software and services, Lenovo has become a premier partner in implementing different sustainability measures, from customized solutions that help optimize data centers to strategies to promote the circular economy, Lenovo promotes its firm commitment to the environment at each stage of the product life cycle.
