LENOVO TAKES TWO HONORS IN 2018 HKICPA BEST CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AWARDS

Lenovo has been honored for the sixth consecutive year with a Platinum Award in Corporate Governance by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) Best Corporate Governance Awards. Lenovo also earned the Sustainability and Social Responsibility Award – a first for the company.

“We are honored with this recognition of our sustainability reporting,” said John Cerretani, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer. "Lenovo is committed to sustainable and responsible business practices and to communicating our progress in this area with our shareholders. This award validates that we are on the right track.”

This is the 19th year of the prestigious Best Corporate Governance Awards, which continue to receive strong support and recognition from the Hong Kong Government, financial market regulators, professional associations, investor groups and the business community. The goal of the awards is to raise awareness of the need for companies to be transparent and accountable to their shareholders and other stakeholders, a priority that aligns well with Lenovo's continuous efforts in this area.

The Sustainability and Social Responsibility Reporting Awards, introduced in 2011, focuses on ESG (environmental, social and governance) reporting. This year, a more extensive initial screening exercise was conducted in hopes of identifying a list of candidates for more detailed assessment of their sustainability and corporate social responsibility reporting than in years past.

“Markets are demanding strong environmental, social and governance performance, and Lenovo has responded," said Cerretani. "For example, in addition to our continued progress on greenhouse gas emissions reductions and the use of recycled content in our products, we are driving innovation in energy savings for our products and our processes, like our highly efficient warm-water cooled data center technology and the development of our low-temperature soldering process.”

Lenovo is continuously working to identify ways of being a good corporate partner to key stakeholders, while taking steps to reduce its impact on the environment. These award wins confirm Lenovo is on the right track in its mission and will inspire further advancements.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
