Lenovo Group Limited has received the “Most Sustainable Organization” distinction within the newly introduced Elite Past Winners (EPW) category by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA). The award underscores Lenovo’s long-standing leadership in corporate governance, as well as its strong performance in environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy, transparency and reporting.

Launched this year, the EPW category recognizes organizations that have demonstrated consistently high standards and earned HKICPA recognition at least five times over the past ten years. Lenovo’s latest honor represents its thirteenth consecutive year of acknowledgment by HKICPA, placing the company among a select group of top-performing organizations and reinforcing its commitment to robust governance practices and responsible business operations. This sustained recognition further enhances trust and confidence among Lenovo’s global stakeholders.

Beyond this achievement, Lenovo has earned several additional ESG distinctions in recent months.

The Clorox Company has announced a strategic alliance with Manufacture 2030 to support its suppliers in meeting carbon reduction objectives and advance Clorox’s overarching goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. M2030 offers resources to assist suppliers in measuring, managing, and cutting down their carbon emissions. Through this collaboration, Clorox aims to further decarbonize its value chain by gathering emissions data, defining actionable reduction strategies, and providing continuous skill development for suppliers.
 
"As part of our commitment to a cleaner world, Clorox is responsible for equipping suppliers with the skills necessary for their sustainability efforts," stated Niki King, Clorox’s Chief Sustainability Officer. "Meaningful climate action demands that companies engage with every part of their supply chain to reduce their environmental impact."
 
This initiative will be gradually introduced to suppliers of key raw materials and packaging—areas accounting for over half of Clorox’s scope 3 emissions. Eva Choe, Chief Procurement Officer, highlighted the company's dedication to sustainability, noting, "Our suppliers share our commitment to responsible practices, supported by our 15-year business partner code of conduct. We believe M2030’s platform will enable our suppliers to create actionable plans and achieve significant carbon reductions through critical industry collaboration."
 
M2030 allows suppliers to track and share progress on the M2030 platform and export data for reporting to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). Martin Chilcott, CEO of Manufacture 2030, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership: "We are excited to work with Clorox in helping their suppliers measure emissions, manage reductions, and share achievements with customers. Together, we aim to reach significant carbon reduction targets across the consumer goods industry."
 
This partnership is a key component of Clorox’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals within its IGNITE corporate strategy, marking a significant step in its commitment to transparency and achieving science-based targets for 2030 and a net-zero carbon footprint by 2050.
