Lenovo’s International Services Supply Chain (ISSC) is the winner of the 2023 Award of Excellence for Making an Impact from the Association for Supply Chain Management (ASCM). The award recognizes that Lenovo ISSC is working to create a better world through social responsibility, proven business integrity, and a strong focus on sustainability.

It is an urgent imperative that holds the potential to become a decisive driver of success, and sustainability offers a unique opportunity to gain a competitive edge,” said Steven JX Chen, Executive Director of Lenovo International Services Supply Chain.

ASCM awarded Lenovo’s International Services Supply Chain for its efforts to work toward zero waste, greenhouse gas reduction, and shipping optimization. A sharpened focus on forecasting, parts harvesting, and extending lifecycles have all contributed to improving PC parts recycling. In addition, logistics initiatives have had a significant positive impact on operations, including exceeding ocean shipment targets and reducing logistics carbon footprint.
