Lenovo: A Forerunner of Intelligent Transformation with Sustainable Success
Assisting Investors with Active Communications
Lenovo Group Limited (“Lenovo” or “the Group”) is committed to providing timely, transparent and clear communications between investors and analysts to help them better understand the business development and prospects of the Group. The Investor Relations (“IR”) team is committed to maintaining interactive communications with the capital market to facilitate better understanding by the investment community of Lenovo's intelligent transformation strategy, business operations, and the latest developments. The IR team also proactively responds to major issues of concern to the capital market to offer all necessary information in a timely and accurate manner. In addition, the IR team is also poised to provide relevant public information to investors and analysts to support the appropriate valuation of the Group's equity.
Diversified Communication Models
Faced with the sheer volume of information nowadays, it has become a challenge for the successful delivery of messages and effectively reaching the target audiences. Optimizing the appropriate media channels in an informative yet interesting way is therefore crucial to presenting itself in the best possible light to the investment community.
Investors and analysts can have direct communications with the Chairman and executive management on a quarterly basis through a wide range of activities. During the fiscal year 2021/22, the Group held around 600 meetings with global institutional investors and analysts. Some key channels such as quarterly IR Communications, investor conferences, investor panel discussion, IR webpage, newsletters and social media have been flexibly carried out throughout 2021.
Unremitting efforts on Existing Advantages
Leveraging on the record results in the past year, Lenovo believes that strategic opportunities in digital and service-led transformations will further expand, fueling commercial demand for Lenovo's end-to-end, user-friendly product and services solutions, as well as dependable devices. These external drivers, reinforced by the Group's investments and global footprint, are critical to achieving its medium-term goal of doubling net margin through timely capturing the right opportunities ahead.
The Group continues to be the leader and enabler of intelligent transformation, helping its clients navigate a more complex world by bringing smarter technology to all. Its commitment to doubling R&D hand-in-hand with the pursuit of profitability growth, will further elevate its competitiveness in next-generation product design and solutions. Lenovo will continue to pursue innovation, with bold R&D investments, in areas including reducing environmental impact, and promoting social equity, and fair and ethical operations.
Distinctive Market Position
Lenovo actively monitors and stays up-to-date with the market trends and focus on its mission to be the leader and enabler of intelligent transformation. It maintains a strong competitive position through commitments to innovate and build a broad product portfolio, elevate its brand, and drive customer-experience transformations to differentiate the Group and gain market share and recognition.
As the Group continued the transformation of its services and solutions, branding has become increasingly critical, helping Lenovo pivot from a devices manufacturer to a technology solutions provider. Its global brand campaign, “the Critical Unknowns”, conveyed the message of business transformation to millions of IT decision makers, introducing Lenovo in the solutions space and thus raising awareness of its solutions partnerships with private and public sector entities targeting major societal challenges, from healthcare, to education, to environmental impact.
The dual focus on solutions and breakthrough products further spurred the brand's perception as an innovator and a smart solutions provider.
Building a Smarter Future
Lenovo's ongoing focus is to build sustainable success as a global technology powerhouse and fulfill its vision of “Smarter technology for all.” Lenovo is innovating to build a smarter future for all through its technology. And it is determined to strive its utmost to improve the planet and society by minimizing its environmental impact, promoting social equity, and ensuring ethical, responsible and transparent operations.
As for objectives of sustainable development, Lenovo believes the core is strengthening key pillars for sustainable success, which are innovation, services-led transformation and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG).
After exceeding its 2020 emissions reduction goal, one year ahead of schedule, the Group has now set a vision to achieve net-zero by 2050 and working with the Science Based Target initiative to establish goals that support this vision. Going forward, Lenovo will bolster these three pillars to power its sustainable success and make a real difference to the communities and stakeholders globally.
