Lenovo Recognized for Disability Inclusion Across US, UK, and Brazil
Lenovo has been recognized once again as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” by the Disability Index, widely regarded as the leading benchmark for assessing workplace inclusion for people with disabilities. This year marks Lenovo’s fifth consecutive year receiving this honor in the United States and the second year it has been acknowledged in both the United Kingdom and Brazil. The recognition across multiple regions underscores Lenovo’s ongoing dedication to fostering an inclusive and accessible environment for all employees.
“Disability talent brings distinct perspectives, resilience, and creativity that are vital for driving innovation and nurturing an inclusive culture,” said Calvin Crosslin, Lenovo’s Chief Inclusion Officer.
“Being acknowledged by the Disability Index again reflects the inclusive culture we continue to build. Through our global initiatives and employee resource groups, we aim to create an environment where every employee can thrive while helping Lenovo achieve its mission of developing smarter technology for everyone.”
The 2025 Disability Index evaluated six core performance areas: Culture & Leadership, Enterprise-Wide Access, Employment Practices, Community Engagement, Supplier Inclusion, and Responsible Procurement.
Launched two years ago, Lenovo’s Disability Advantage Initiative is one of the company’s key global programs. The initiative promotes awareness, develops resources, and integrates disability inclusion and accessibility across Lenovo’s operations. Guided by a global self-assessment in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO), it has produced region-specific action plans and established a global HR task force focused on raising awareness, providing resources, and challenging conventional practices.
In the three markets recognized this year, Lenovo teams implemented local initiatives to support disability inclusion:

In the three markets recognized this year, Lenovo teams implemented local initiatives to support disability inclusion:
- United States: In Raleigh, North Carolina, ABLE collaborated with the LatinX ERG, HOLA, to host a ComMotion event in March 2025. The session featured adaptive dance exercises set to Latin music, transitioning from seated to standing movements, with participation from students of the Governor Morehead School for the Blind.
- United Kingdom: Lenovo’s Farnborough and Glasgow offices offered employees access to Autism Reality Experiences and Virtual Dementia Tours. These programs help staff, particularly managers, gain a deeper understanding of these communities’ needs, fostering empathy and inclusivity.
- Brazil: At its Indaiatuba facility, Lenovo launched the “Be an Inclusive Buddy” program to help integrate employees with disabilities. Volunteers, known as “Buddies,” provide daily guidance and support to new hires, ensuring a smooth transition into the workplace.
Through these local initiatives combined with global programs, Lenovo continues to drive meaningful cultural change, reinforcing its commitment to disability inclusion across the company.
