Supplier Diversity at a Glance

The aims of Lenovo's Supplier Diversity Program are to expand our diverse supplier base, strengthen economic development, and create a competitive advantage for all involved. Diverse suppliers are a natural part of our business strategy and these suppliers are an integral part of our productivity, quality, service, and innovation. We are committed to maximizing the inclusion of diverse owned businesses including:

• Minority
• Women
• Disability
• Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT)- owned businesses
• Small businesses

And where applicable,

• Veteran
• Service Disabled Veteran,
• Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones)

A diverse-owned business is one that is majority-owned, operated, and controlled by members of diverse and underrepresented communities. Definitions of diversity and underrepresentation vary by region and country. However, they are typically at least 51% owned and operated by a member of a recognized, disadvantaged community.

We will accomplish this by:

• Promoting the sourcing of goods and services from high-performing diverse businesses.
• Embedding Supplier Diversity within our corporate culture.
• Ensuring compliance with all aspects of Supplier Diversity spend requirements.
• Integrating Supplier Diversity in strategic procurement plans.
• Focusing on efficiencies and continuous improvement.
• Enhancing the economic vibrancy of the communities we serve.
• Maintaining relationships with diverse local, national, and international diverse business associations
• Facilitating the training on the philosophy, policies, and methodologies of Supplier Diversity.
