Almost every day, we hear news about climate change issues, problems that we can avoid by doing our part, recycling and making responsible and sustainable consumption. However, we as individuals have limited options, since we cannot do much more than large companies can do by demonstrating their commitment to environmental sustainability by reducing emissions during the manufacture and distribution of their products, as is the case with Lenovo.
Lenovo’s commitment to the environment begins with the design of its products, the choice of materials used, choosing suppliers who have demonstrated a commitment to sustainability, packaging and the way in which its products are shipped once manufactured.
Leading the way to a sustainable future
At Lenovo, we are aware that the measures taken today will affect future generations. This is the main reason, in addition to its commitment to the environment, why Lenovo designs all its products with one priority in mind: reducing carbon emissions to zero, a process that the company aims to achieve by 2050.
The company not only takes into account the manufacturing, distribution and collection process of its equipment, but also designs it to be as efficient as possible in terms of energy consumption, thereby reducing energy consumption, which in turn implies a reduction in the carbon footprint generated by its use.
Lenovo calculates the carbon footprint of its products, from manufacturing to commissioning at customer sites, without forgetting the carbon footprint generated during their life cycle. This allows it to offset CO emissions.2 in verified climate action projects worldwide, such as in the generation of renewable energy through solar and wind farms, among others.
Thanks to Lenovo’s commitment to caring for the environment, it has become the leading sustainability manufacturer perfect for helping companies offset CO emissions.2To find out which projects Lenovo is working on to reduce its carbon footprint, simply enter your computer’s serial number.
Microsoft, a partner in all Lenovo business solutions, is also making a significant commitment to reducing the impact of CO emissions.2 in the environment, a commitment that began in 2009 by evaluating the needs of clients to adapt solutions with the least possible impact on the environment.
Environmentally friendly design, manufacturing and shipping
Lenovo’s circular approach to designing, manufacturing and distributing its products, while not forgetting to recycle both the packaging (made from bamboo and sugar cane) and the products themselves once they have completed their useful life cycle in companies, makes Lenovo the best option when it comes to demonstrating the company’s commitment to the environment.
Lenovo does all the work so customers don’t have to waste time analyzing CO emissions.2 Lenovo products, information that the company provides for the entire life cycle of its equipment together with that used during the manufacturing and distribution process.
In addition, for companies that maintain a higher commitment to environmental sustainability, Lenovo offers them the possibility of choosing the type of packaging in which they will receive the equipment in order to reduce the CO footprint.2The company also gives them the option to choose whether they want to use sea or air transport to receive their order.
If they opt for air transport, which is more environmentally harmful than sea transport but much faster, that does not mean that the environmental impact is greater, since Lenovo uses sustainable aviation fuel. If we take into account that large companies order thousands of devices, the large-scale impact on the environment is considerably reduced.
As we can see, Lenovo has thought about all the aspects related to the manufacturing, shipping and launching of its products so that the customer only has to select which models cover their needs.
Unlike other manufacturers, Lenovo’s circular approach allows it to control everything from design and manufacturing to shipping and collection of products at the end of their useful life in companies, equipment that is recycled when possible to give it a new chance.
In this way, it prevents companies from ending up with cupboards full of obsolete equipment that ends up in companies that put them back on the market in order to get a little more return on the investment they have made.
Lenovo has designed this way of working to prevent companies from actually being committed to the environment, from being able to meet their sustainability goals without realizing it and collaborating to reduce CO emissions.2 in the environment.
