Energy Management System - ISO 50001
Lenovo is ISO 50001 - Energy Management System certified in all European Union (EU) locations. During FY 2019/20, we expanded our Energy Management System (EnMS) to the East part of our headquarters in Beijing, China and manufacturing plant in Hefei, China and obtained ISO 50001 certifications. We developed a global level target for Lenovo’s ISO 50001 certified locations as follows: Reduce total energy consumption by at least 1.5 percent in next three fiscal years, relative to the FY 2019/20 energy baseline.
Having a first-rate EMS in place will further improve our energy performance. It also leads to better energy efficiency, lower use, and consumption – leading ultimately to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and other related environmental impacts. Additionally, it will increase our employees' awareness of responsible energy behavior.

Renewable Energy
Lenovo is committed in reducing our global carbon footprint by meeting our targets for absolute reductions of GHG emissions from our operations and by driving similar reductions in Lenovo’s supply chain and product usage. In support of this commitment, we continue to expand our use of solar energy.
Lenovo's renewable energy installations help to reduce Scope 2 emissions at its facilities. In June 2022, Lenovo enabled 500 KW of solar electric as part of its phase 1 plans at its new factory in Budapest, Hungary.
In addition to the 17 MW of solar electric that are currently operational, the Company continues to investigate additional opportunities for solar installations in Brazil, Mexico, and China.
