BACKGROUND 3
 Lenovo: How it started
The journey began humbly in 1984 at a guardhouse in China, when
Legend Holdings was formed with an investment of just RMB 200,000
(US$ 25,000). In 1988, they opened for business in Hong Kong and,
within eight years, it became China’s largest PC company. In 2004, it
was renamed Lenovo.
 
Today, we are a US$46 billion multinational company with 55,000
employees serving customers in over 160 countries. Ranked #202 on
the Fortune 500 list, we are proud to be the world’s largest PC vendor.
Portfolio now includes workstations, servers, storage solutions, IT
management software, smart TVs, tablets, smartphones, and even apps.
 
Global Scale / Locations
We serve more than 180 markets, and we own the majority of our
facilities, giving us unrivaled scale, efficiency, and control of our
supply chain. Our global manufacturing allows tailored offerings to
regional markets and includes more than 30 manufacturing facilities,
including in-house, joint venture, original design manufacturer, and
contract manufacturer sites in Argentina, Brazil, China, Germany,
Hungary, India, Japan, Mexico, and USA.

 COVID-19 RESPONSE
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the Company deployed an immediate plan to support
the health and safety of employees. It has continued to promote awareness and
implement safe practices to protect its employees. Employee awareness remains a vital
component to the containment of the pandemic’s impact on the Company’s operations.
Today, it remains cognizant of its role and responsibilities to maintain a safe and healthy
workplace, while supporting the daily operations with the following actions:
 Tracked mask stock information and state-level COVID cases weekly and applied a
90-day inventory demand as the baseline for all manufacturing locations to ensure
adequate masks and disinfectant.
 Provided sufficient personal protective equipment and safer accommodations for
employees who were required to travel internationally to support local businesses,
including related training to further support safety measures.
 Strictly controlled facility access for suppliers and contractors; permitting entry only
after successful completion of official health screening that complied with local
laws and the Company’s requirements.
 Invited medical professionals to provide voluntary health screenings for more than
900 employees at the Company’s Wuhan facility in China.
 Supported business continuity through various employee training opportunities,
including occupational health, fire prevention, evacuation, and COVID-19
awareness.
14
Smarter Diversity and Inclusion Research
The Company recently partnered with Intel to conduct a comprehensive
research study in five markets to understand the perceptions, gaps, wants,
and needs of employees across all generations when it comes to diversity and
inclusion in the workplace, and the critical role technology will play. The
joint global study explores how people around the world view D&I in their
personal and professional lives, and their perspective on the role technology
plays to address systematic inequities, create more access, and enable
growth.
“Lenovo Listens” Employee Engagement Survey
The Company seeks the insights of its employees worldwide through its
annual “Lenovo Listens” employee engagement survey. The survey is
designed to measure employee sentiment and capture feedback on the
Company’s performance in creating an equitable and inclusive work
environment. Survey responses are analyzed by a third-party survey vendor
and reported back to the Company in aggregate format, ensuring no
individual responses can be identified. Managers of all levels are encouraged
to use the results to identify areas where they can improve and create
meaningful action plans. 15

CSR Initiative: Lenovo Coastal Clean-up

Objective of the Project:

The objective of this project plan are very simple, to clean the coast of Baseco Beach in Tondo, Manila. By cleaning the coast,
we aim to clean up the shoreline of Baseco, as well as to serve as an eye-opener to everyone that whatever we throw in our
bodies of water will go back in our shores.. The coastal clean-up is an easy way to give back. The ocean provides us with so
much. It’s important to make sure we are taking care of it, so that it can continue to take care of us

Project Description:
The purpose of the cleanup is to engage people in the community remove trash and debris from the shoreline, to identify the
sources of the litter, and to change the behaviors that cause pollution. In addition to stimulating action, coastal cleanups increase
public awareness about the accumulation and negative impacts of litter in oceans, on coastlines and on beaches. Marine litter is
any “persistent, manufactured or processed solid material, that is discarded, disposed of, or abandoned in the marine and coastal
environment”. Its sources can be land-based, such as landfills, rivers and inland waterways, areas where solid waste is carelessly
disposed, as well as, ocean-based, for example, through fishing vessels and offshore oil platforms.

One of the main objectives of coastal cleanups is to document the types and quantity of trash collected, and this information can
assist in the analysis of waste management practices. Marine litter affects everyone, and greater understanding of its origins and
impacts will serve as the basis for the collective action needed to control, prevent and/or reduce its impacts.
20
Implementation
Pre-implementation of the Coastal Clean-up
1. Present the Plan to Lenovo People First Committee and secure initial approval for the initiative.
2. Lenovo Foundation will evaluate the program and the location where to conduct the Coastal Clean-up.
3. Coordinate with the LGU, Barangay Baseco for approval and secure their cooperation as well for the project.
4. Conduct a site visit to ensure proper planning of the program execution.
5. Prepare survey form and methodology.

During the clean:

6. Briefing the volunteers - Volunteers need to know what they're doing, why, and how - as well as all the risks and how to
keep safe.
7. Provide a bit of background of the beach, the issue of marine litter and why recording it is so important.
8. Go over the key health and safety issues, also, explain the survey form and methodology.
9. Make sure everyone is following the right process - picking up everything they find over the 100m and recording it all.
10. Be available to help and assist people around you.
11. If you've got first aid kit, keep these with you and look out for anyone who needs them.
12. Take photos - especially of the litter on the beach.

21
 After the clean:
1. Weigh and count the black bags. How many volunteers took part?
2. Provide a closing talk:
 Ask if anyone found anything unusual
 Find out what the majority of items were made of (likely to be plastic).
 Run a competition for the highest number of items recorded - number of items not weight. This encourages people to
follow the correct methodology by picking up as much as they can find, and tally up their survey forms.
 Thank them for their help.

Conclusion
CSR is not about charity nor a public relations activity. CSR is how companies contribute to society through good
business practice, and how it forms part of the company’s core business, it is also more of how companies make
or earn profit, and not how they spend it.
Implementing CSR in a corporation is a challenge. It involves deliberate action and planning on all levels from
the management to the least of the corporate citizens.
In general, the company likes the idea of CSR however planning and execution is still the challenge, typical of
any endeavor worth doing.

However, that is not to say that there are no quick wins to be

done. Continue the current activities locally. Lenovo People
First Committee (CSR team) need to use the PDCA cycle -
Plan, Do, Check and Act in each of the projects that has been
identified and in the overall implementation plan of the CSR
initiative of the company then after which improve on them for
the next cycle.
