Wang Chuandong, vice president of Lenovo Group and chief marketing officer of China District, said that enterprises should help the country achieve this double-carbon goal. Combined with Lenovo's years of low-carbon strategic practice, we believe that it is the only way to build a low-carbon or even zero-carbon manufacturing system through technological innovation. Only by taking the road of scientific and technological innovation, realizing the accuracy, visualization and decomposition of carbon data, and accelerating the digitalization and intelligent transformation of traditional industries and enterprises can we really help realize the goal of "double carbon".
Focus on enterprise accounting carbon emission demand Lenovo launched a free trial of carbon accounting platform.
Following the promulgation of the Action Plan for Peak Carbon Dioxide Emissions by 2030 in the State Council, it has become a key task to accelerate the process of low-carbon transformation in various industries and do a good job in peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutrality.
In order to accelerate the double carbon landing, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, Shanghai Stock Exchange, Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Hong Kong Stock Exchange have successively proposed to strengthen the disclosure of corporate environmental information of listed companies, and relevant policies have also revealed that the disclosure of corporate environmental information will be gradually promoted from "suggestive" to "mandatory". In the past year, more than 1400 A-share listed companies disclosed independent environmental, social and governance reports, including the disclosure of environment-related information; IDC predicts that 50% of the top enterprises in China 1000 will firmly embed the "carbon neutral" environmental sustainability parameters in their business KPI.

At the meeting, Fu Jiafeng, director and researcher of the Inventory Office of china environmental science Institute of Atmospheric Research, said that for enterprises, the impact of the "double carbon" goal on enterprises can be said to be both opportunities and challenges. In order to promote the sustainable development of enterprises, we should take active actions under the goal of "double carbon". How to truly realize the green and low-carbon development of enterprises is to fundamentally change our dependence on fossil energy carbon emissions. We should use the goal of "double carbon" to force enterprises to transform, what to transform, and what is the energy structure, industrial structure and economic development model. Only when enterprises seize the opportunity of "double carbon" as early as possible, find out their own carbon emissions and know how to reduce carbon, can they make an early layout in the future "double carbon" field under the big trading market.
Carbon accounting is very important to achieve the goal of "double carbon", and it is the key to establish a reference and standardized carbon emission accounting system. Facing the huge demand of enterprise information disclosure and relying on digital innovation, it is urgent to establish an accurate, intuitive and convenient carbon emission statistical accounting model.
(Legend: Shi Lei, Director of Lenovo Data Intelligent Products and Delivery)
In this regard, Lenovo introduced a number of experts in energy conservation and emission reduction, combined with the first-hand practical experience of national carbon emission accounting methodology and emission factors, and launched "Lenovo's first enterprise carbon accounting platform". According to Lei, director of Lenovo's intelligent products and delivery, Lenovo's enterprise carbon accounting platform is a product with environmental data accounting as its core and an assistant to help enterprises complete data disclosure through self-verification. The platform has several advantages, such as comprehensive accuracy, customization, visibility and security.
_ Accuracy, the platform can comprehensively and accurately focus on the carbon emission reduction needs of enterprises, and its carbon emission factor library covers a wide range of carbon emission factors involved in the range 1, 2 and 3, which is compatible with local differentiation characteristics. At the same time, its environmental data covers all ESG-related environmental data, and its SaaS application can quickly iterate and update the accounting model in real time according to policies and standards.
_ Customization, the platform can provide customized development and carbon-neutral consulting services according to the industry field where the enterprise is located and the requirements of enterprise environmental information disclosure.
_ Visibility: Enterprises can not only obtain the final carbon accounting data report, but also clearly know the carbon accounting calculation model, sort out the carbon emission sources, and then tap the space for emission reduction.
_ security, the platform adopts high security authority management and high complexity encryption to ensure data security. In addition, more importantly, Lenovo is a pioneer in ESG field. In the past ten years, Lenovo has reduced its carbon emissions by 92% through measures such as improving energy efficiency and optimizing production lines, and simultaneously promoted and assisted suppliers in the upstream and downstream of the global supply chain to reduce carbon scientifically. Years of accumulated carbon reduction experience and accounting technology have provided strong support for enabling enterprises to reduce emissions.
At present, Lenovo has launched the first phase of the enterprise carbon accounting platform for free trial, allowing enterprises to "go home and meet the information disclosure requirements". Through this platform, enterprises can calculate carbon emission data, waste data, resource consumption data, energy consumption data and environmental performance data. According to the different disclosure requirements of enterprises, it provides four kinds of data accounting results reports: carbon emission information disclosure, ESG environmental information disclosure, enterprise environmental information disclosure and financial institution environmental information disclosure.
It is reported that Lenovo will also launch the second phase of the platform later, which can realize "assessment+strategy and provide carbon reduction solutions for enterprises". Based on the accounting results of environmental data such as carbon emissions, energy consumption and resource consumption of enterprises, combined with the industry and regional average level of product application accumulation and the measures taken to improve environmental performance, we can provide enterprises with assessments and strategies from four dimensions: carbon reduction, energy conservation, investment and trading, and help enterprises achieve carbon neutrality and sustainable development goals.
Reduce carbon, cooperate and pull the industry into a low-carbon era.
According to reports, up to now, Lenovo's enterprise carbon accounting platform has been tried out in 84 supply chain enterprises of Lenovo, involving 32 industries such as manufacturing, real estate, transportation, water conservancy, environment and public facilities management, education and service industry, generating reports 100+, which has been well received by enterprise users. Lenovo's carbon data accounting platform can not only help enterprises to conduct carbon data accounting and meet the disclosure needs of enterprises, but more importantly, it can help enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency, improve enterprise valuation, and also play a key role in driving low-carbon transformation of upstream and downstream and building a green supply chain system.

As a representative of 84 Lenovo partner companies, Liu Xia, the quality director of Shenzhen Jiangbolong Electronics Co., Ltd., combined with her own company's trial experience, clearly demonstrated the ability and value of this product in helping enterprises achieve carbon neutrality and sustainable development in the process of corporate environmental information disclosure with digital cases. Liu Xia said that this product can help enterprises understand their own emission structure, thus more clearly understanding their own carbon data in the process of production and operation, and guiding enterprises to calculate their own emissions according to national standards; At the same time, Lenovo also provides perfect professional consulting services. After accounting the data, it provides enterprises with professional guidance and suggestions on where to focus on emission reduction, how to reduce emissions and how to achieve carbon neutrality. "For example, we consulted experts from Lenovo. According to the current situation of our enterprise, if distributed photovoltaic is installed, how much electricity can be bought less and how much emission can be reduced. After expert accounting, we have a specific understanding. In the future, when implementing, we will also comprehensively consider what measures should be taken to achieve the best energy saving and emission reduction effect and the highest income. "
Carbon data accounting is also of key significance for promoting environmental information disclosure in the upstream and downstream of the value chain and building a green supply chain and distributor system with carbon neutral path. Through carbon emission tracking, we can confirm the source of carbon data, explore the space of carbon emission reduction, extend the application of carbon emission tracking to the upstream and downstream of enterprises, promote the cooperation between manufacturers and upstream and downstream supply chains and carbon emission management, form a transparent, complete and true carbon emission data tracking system, and further build an industrial green ecology.
In addition, it was revealed at the Boao Forum for Asia held recently in 2022 that the international ESG information disclosure standards will be released soon, which will have a great impact on the listing, valuation and tax payment of China enterprises. In the future, the ESG performance of enterprises will become an important investment basis for some investors at home and abroad, and the influence weight on investment decisions will be greatly increased. The disclosure of enterprise carbon data with high accuracy, high credibility and high matching is more conducive to obtaining high recognition of capital and being recognized by the market, which invisibly increases the valuation of enterprises.
"We hope that this product can serve more users, help enterprises really reduce costs and increase efficiency, and contribute to the practice of energy saving and carbon reduction in the whole society." Lenovo Shi Lei revealed, "Next, we hope that this SaaS environmental information data accounting platform can be opened to more enterprises for free trial, and will combine their trial experience to continuously optimize products and explore the low-carbon development path of digital innovation. * * * will enter a low-carbon era."
The "Le Carbon Circle" was fully launched, and Lenovo accelerated the road to zero carbon.
Lenovo not only helps enterprises to carry out carbon emission analysis, accounting and visual monitoring by building carbon accounting platform products, but also actively promotes scientific emission reduction within enterprises, enhances the awareness of individuals and the public, and makes breakthroughs and innovations in the field of green and low carbon. At the scene, Lenovo released Lenovo's leading employee personal carbon account service solution-Lenovo Carbon Pratt & Whitney Platform-Lenovo Le Carbon Circle.
(Legend: Xuan Wang, Director of Lenovo ESG and Sustainable Development)
Xuan Wang, director of ESG and sustainable development of Lenovo, said that Lenovo Le Carbon Circle is one of the tools for Lenovo to lay out its vision of zero net emissions in 2050 in advance and reduce carbon emissions at the employee level. "We hope to establish a personal carbon account platform for employees through Lenovo Le Carbon Circle. Starting from me, everyone is a green and low-carbon practitioner and a spokesperson for Lenovo Group. We will work hard to realize Lenovo's net zero emission at an early date, and * * * will help the country achieve the goal of "double carbon" at an early date. "
According to reports, Lenovo's "Le Carbon Circle" is a carbon emission accounting platform for individuals. Lenovo employees can carry out a series of activities such as carbon inclusion accounting, management, trading and social interaction in office and business fields on this platform, which is the leading employee personal carbon account service solution in the industry. "Le Carbon Circle" covers two daily scenes: green office and low-carbon life. Employees can earn Le carbon points through daily actions such as low-carbon travel, low-carbon commuting and sports donation. At the same time, Le Carbon Circle has five functions: carbon bookkeeping, carbon socialization, carbon point trading, carbon point reward and carbon asset management. Lenovo employees can use the platform to establish personal carbon accounts, calculate and book the carbon emissions of daily office and business, generate carbon points and trade them, and effectively encourage employees to participate in low-carbon emission reduction actions.
Lenovo's carbon inclusive platform Le Carbon Circle is not only a tool to promote individual carbon emission reduction within Lenovo, but also a new attempt to start individual carbon emission reduction on the low-carbon road relying on digital innovation. It is reported that Lenovo's "Le Carbon Circle" is currently only open to Lenovo employees. In the future application, the platform will be opened to the public, and a carbon inclusive system with universal participation and continuous operation will be built to promote the formation of a green and low-carbon production lifestyle and help achieve the peak carbon dioxide emission and carbon neutrality.
Both the launch of enterprise carbon accounting information platform and the release of employee personal carbon account service solutions show that Lenovo, as an early domestic enterprise that practiced ESG concept, is actively promoting the synergy between digitalization and low carbon, and releasing low carbon potential with digital innovative technology.
As the world's leading ICT company, Lenovo actively promotes zero-carbon layout in innovative technologies and services. For example, many green innovative technologies such as low-temperature solder paste welding technology, low-temperature nitrogen production technology and warm water cooling technology have matured and been applied in various fields. Taking low-temperature solder paste welding as an example, Lianbao Technology produced 22.7 million Lenovo computers a year (Lenovo fiscal year 20/2 1), reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 4,740 metric tons, which is equivalent to the greenhouse gas absorbed by 16 1 square kilometer forest in one year.
Recently, Lenovo Industry took the lead in promoting zero-carbon service, certifying the carbon footprint of IT equipment in its whole life cycle, and realizing carbon neutrality of the equipment in its whole life cycle by writing off carbon footprint emissions. Among them, ThinkPadX 1 and X 13 have obtained carbon footprint certification. Lenovo not only practices zero-carbon layout, but also comprehensively drives upstream and downstream from five dimensions of green production, supplier management, green packaging, green logistics and green recycling and a green information disclosure platform to create a "five-dimensional and one-platform" of green supply chain.
In 2022, Lenovo further formulated a clear carbon emission reduction target, gradually linking the upstream and downstream ecology with "net zero emissions", striving to achieve a 50% reduction in operating carbon emissions and a 25% reduction in carbon emissions in some value chains by 2030, and actively exploring to achieve net zero emissions no later than 2050.
The close combination of digitalization and low carbonization has far-reaching significance. Over the years, Lenovo has been committed to promoting the innovation and practice of ESG, actively exploring ways to give back to society from green and low carbon, climate change, scientific and technological innovation, social welfare, corporate governance and other multi-dimensional fields, especially exploring research and development and application of innovative technologies to make industry and society more sustainable. In the future, Lenovo will continue to be driven by application scenarios and market demand, helping tens of millions of industries to achieve low-carbon development and accelerate the greening process of industries and society.
