MORRISVILLE, October 16, 2019 – Lenovo has been rated AA by the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency, the rating agency behind the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index, and achieved the best overall score in the IT industry. This is the ninth consecutive year that Lenovo has been included in this ranking, showing Lenovo’s ongoing commitment to sustainability. This year’s rankings featured 30 Hong Kong listed companies from 10 different industries.
The HSCSI is a Hong Kong Stock Exchange recognized index and useful indicator for investors seeking socially responsible companies to include in their portfolios. The selection process involves an evaluation of a company’s practices in key sustainability areas such as corporate governance, observance of human rights and labor practices, impact on the environment, and community involvement and development.

This recognition underscores our longstanding commitment as a global citizen to address the needs of our stakeholders through our sustainability and corporate responsibility initiatives. We will continue driving results that contribute to our mission to deliver smarter technology for all.”
