Lenovo Achieves 98% Supplier CDP Disclosure Rate in 2024

Global technology company Lenovo reported a 98% CDP supplier response rate in 2024, placing it among the top 5% of companies worldwide in supplier climate engagement. The company's tiered supplier emissions reduction program, launched in 2022, has resulted in 96% of suppliers by spend adopting public greenhouse gas reduction goals.

Lenovo launched its supplier emissions reduction program in 2022, requiring suppliers to disclose emissions through CDP, develop inventories, and set climate targets aligned with the Science-Based Targets initiative. The program uses a tiered approach based on each supplier's emissions maturity and readiness for climate action. By fiscal year 2024/2025, 96% of Lenovo's suppliers by spend had public greenhouse gas reduction goals, 72% had public renewable energy goals, and 95% were tracking and reporting renewable energy generation and purchases.

Lenovo's near-universal supplier disclosure rate of 98% stands as a benchmark for technology sector supply chain transparency. Around 70% of participating suppliers report Scope 3 data, and Lenovo is supporting the remaining 30% through CDP training sessions and one-to-one meetings. As a company with significant manufacturing dependencies across Asia, including India, Lenovo's supplier engagement model illustrates how large buyers can use standardized platforms to build resilience and meet net-zero commitments across geographically dispersed supply chains.

Lenovo's success in supply chain climate management is increasingly relevant as global regulators tighten Scope 3 reporting requirements. CDP's Supply Chain program, which serves over 270 of the world's largest buyers representing US$6.5 trillion in purchasing power, provides the infrastructure for this kind of systematic supplier engagement. For companies operating in the technology sector, where supply chains span multiple jurisdictions including South and Southeast Asia, the Lenovo model demonstrates how tiered, data-driven supplier engagement can build long-term climate resilience.
