Aligned with the positive results of its 18th annual Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, Lenovo Philippines leads in inclusion in the workplace and proactive initiatives in improving the lives of communities while reducing its impact on the environment.
From having greater women and PWD participation in technology to volunteerism through its Lenovo Month of Service last September, Lenovo remains steadfast in its sustainability mission.
Lenovo’s Women in LenovoLeadership, an employee resource group, has achieved 20 percent female executive representation by offering training and mentorship programs in the company. To date, 61 percent of Lenovo Philippines’ employees are women, a significant number for female representation in the workplace.
Lenovo under its global partnership with Ashoka, is working with Ashoka changemaker Ryan Gersava and Virtualahan, a Davao-based nongovernmental organization to help people with disabilities develop the necessary digital skillset to work in in-demand industries.
Lenovo is working to increase diversity, inclusion, and access to technology internally and externally, recording a 29% representation of women in technical roles.
“Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our mission in the Philippines. By fostering a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve, we are better positioned to innovate and address the needs of our customers in the Philippine market. We remain firmly committed to creating opportunities for everybody, including women and individuals with disabilities, to thrive in the tech industry and contribute to our overall nation’s growth,” said Michael Ngan, resident and general manager of Lenovo Philippines.
Since 2017, Lenovo has grown its reuse and recycling of products by nearly 40 percent through its product take-back programs. Lenovo has reused or recycled more than 94,000 metric tons of products through Product End-of-Life Management (PELM) programs since 2020 – the same weight as 87 million ThinkPads.
