Lenovo's Climate Commitments and Emissions Data

Lenovo, headquartered in China and operating in the Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing industry, is committed to reducing its environmental impact. The company has set ambitious targets, including a commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Latest Emissions Data (2026):

For the reporting year 2026, Lenovo reported its total GHG emissions as approximately 201.1 billion kg CO2e. This total is comprised of:

• Scope 1 emissions: Approximately 3.9 million kg CO2e.
• Scope 2 emissions (market-based): Approximately 12.5 million kg CO2e.
• Scope 2 emissions (location-based): Approximately 203.1 million kg CO2e.
• Scope 3 emissions: Approximately 18.2 billion kg CO2e.

Key contributors to Scope 3 emissions in 2026 included the "use of sold products" (approximately 10.1 billion kg CO2e) and "purchased goods and services" (approximately 6.6 billion kg CO2e).

Emissions Trend (2015-2026):

Lenovo's reported emissions have fluctuated over the years, with total emissions ranging from approximately 15.9 billion kg CO2e in 2020 to over 23.9 billion kg CO2e in 2021. The most recent data for 2026 shows a significant reduction in reported Scope 1 and 2 emissions compared to earlier years, particularly when considering location-based Scope 2 emissions.

Climate Commitments and Reduction Targets:

Lenovo has established several key climate targets:

• Net-Zero by 2050: The company aims to achieve net-zero GHG emissions across its value chain by FY2049/50.
• Absolute Scope 1 and 2 Reduction: Lenovo has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% by FY2029/30, using FY2018/19 as a base year. This target is consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
• Scope 3 Reductions:
  • A 35% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from the "use of sold products" (on average for comparable products) by FY2029/30 from a FY2018/19 base year.
  • A 25% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from upstream transportation and distribution per tonne-km of transported product by FY2029/30 from a FY2018/19 base year.
  • A 66.5% reduction in Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services per million US$ gross profit by FY2029/30 from a FY2018/19 base year.

Lenovo actively discloses its emissions data and progress towards these reduction targets in its sustainability reports.
