Lenovo Earns 2025 Workplace Pride Ambassador Status for LGBTIQ+ Inclusion


10/02/2025


Lenovo has once again earned recognition as an Ambassador in the 2025 Workplace Pride Global Benchmark, underscoring its leadership in advancing LGBTIQ+ workplace inclusion. The company achieved an overall score of 87%, marking a 16.9% improvement compared to 2024.

The Ambassador level is awarded to organizations that achieve between 70% and 90% in the benchmark, reflecting a sustained and strategic commitment to fostering inclusive workplaces for LGBTIQ+ employees. Lenovo maintained strong results across key areas, including Workplace Awareness, Employee Networks, Support and Benefits, as well as Business and Supplier Engagement.

“Employee Resource Groups play a vital role in building community within Lenovo, while also offering critical perspectives that strengthen our inclusivity initiatives. Receiving the Ambassador designation again is proof of the dedication and impact of our EMEA Pride team,” said Calvin Crosslin, Chief Inclusion Officer at Lenovo.

One of the company’s most notable improvements was in Data Collection, driven by the rollout of Self ID within HR systems across multiple markets, the introduction of its first Gender Guidelines, and specialized training for EMEA HR leaders and managers.

“Earning Ambassador status again highlights the teamwork and commitment of our ERG and Inclusion leaders,” added Andrea Menashe, Vice President, Global Technology Partners and Executive Sponsor of EMEA Pride at Lenovo. “With the trust and support of executives and local leadership, we’ve been able to launch initiatives that enhance both the well-being and inclusion of our LGBTIQ+ workforce.”

This recognition supports Lenovo’s broader social impact goals, as detailed in its FY 2024/25 ESG Report. The company remains a signatory of the Declaration of Amsterdam, which promotes workplace LGBTIQ+ inclusion, and continues to appear on the Corporate Equality Index, this year receiving a score of 95 out of 100.

The 2025 Workplace Pride Global Benchmark results highlight a global trend of moving from awareness to measurable impact, with organizations leveraging data-driven strategies to build more inclusive, sustainable workplaces. Lenovo is among a growing number of returning Ambassador companies, celebrated for their long-term, results-oriented approach to LGBTIQ+ inclusion.
