Système de gestion de l’énergie-ISO 50001

Lenovo is ISO 50001 - Energy Management System certified in all European Union (EU) locations. During FY 2019/20, we expanded our Energy Management System (EnMS) to the East part of our headquarters in Beijing, China and manufacturing plant in Hefei, China and obtained ISO 50001 certifications. We developed a global level target for Lenovo's ISO 50001 certified locations as follows: Reduce total energy consumption by at least 1.5 percent in next three fiscal years, relative to the FY 2019/20 energy baseline.

Having a first-rate EMS in place will further improve our energy performance. It also leads to better energy efficiency, lower use, and consumption - leading ultimately to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and other related environmental impacts. Additionally, it will increase our employees' awareness of responsible energy behavior.

Énergie renouvelable

Lenovo is committed in reducing our global carbon footprint by meeting our targets for absolute reductions of GHG emissions from our operations and by driving similar reductions in Lenovo's supply chain and product usage. In support of this commitment, we continue to expand our use of solar energy. Lenovo's renewable energy installations include solar hot water generation facilities in Beijing and solar electric generation plants in Hefei and Wuhan, China as well as Whitsett and our headquarters in Morrisville, NC, USA. By the end of the fiscal year, the current solar capacity of all these projects was approximately 16 megawatts (MW).

To continue expansion in this area, we have begun the pre-engineering work to start solar installations at our facilities in Jaguariuna, Brazil and Monterrey, Mexico. These two projects will add approximately 14 MW of new solar electric generation capacity. Lenovo has a target of achieving 30 MW of owned or leased renewable energy generation capacity globally. At the time of this printing, the impact of COVID-19 may impact the construction of these projects on the schedule we had originally set. Upon completion of these two projects, we will have the ability to generate 30 MW of on-site renewable energy.

In 2019, Lenovo was again recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a Top 30 Tech & Telecom Green Power Partner for its purchase of renewable energy. Veuillez cliquer ici pour plus de renseignements.

Renewable Energy Commodities

Where the use of renewable energy is not technically or economically feasible, Lenovo purchases renewable energy commodities, such as Renewable Energy Credits (REC), International Renewable Energy Credits (I-REC), Guarantees of Origin (GO) and carbon offsets.

During FY 2019/20 Lenovo purchased renewable commodities that supported 100 percent renewable energy projects in Brazil (wind), China (wind), India (wind), Mexico (wind), Europe (hydro) and the United States (wind). Also, Lenovo acquired carbon offsets from a wind farm project in China.

Any renewable energy instruments purchased by Lenovo must demonstrate that the carbon reductions are real, additional, permanent, verifiable, and certified to recognizable industry standards (e.g. Green-e, Verified Carbon Standard, and I-REC).

Emissions Trading System

Lenovo was selected for a pilot emission trading system in China. It was determined by the Beijing Municipal authority in 2013 that Lenovo Beijing is a significant energy consumption enterprise since we consumed more than 5,000 MT coal-equivalent electricity (CO2 emissions over 10,000 MT/year) and as such must meet an emissions trading requirement for our Beijing sites.

Our server plant in Shenzhen is also listed as a significant carbon emission enterprise but released emissions do not exceed allocated allowance so reductions are not required. Lenovo surveille de près les autres provinces où ce programme pilote a été imposé, car ses sites à Shanghai, Huiyang, Xiamen, Chengdu et Wuhan pourraient être touchés à l’avenir.

Le SEQE China National nouvellement mis en uvre couvre les industries à forte consommation d’énergie, comme la puissance, le ciment et l’acier. Comme Lenovo est classée comme une industrie des TI, les exigences de la Chine en matière de SEQE n’ont pas été imposées à nos sites en Chine en ce moment.
