Lenovo publishes credible climate data with third-party verification and SBTi-validated targets, but relies heavily on intensity-based Scope 3 metrics that allow absolute emissions to rise. Its 99% Scope 3 footprint remains largely uncontrolled. Nature impact is entirely unmapped. Transparency is strong; actual decarbonization leverage is weak.
Lenovo scores 39/100 (Below expectations) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
That places Lenovo joint 385th of 847 companies scored, and joint 13th of 33 in Electronics / Hardware.
Where Lenovo sits among electronics / hardware peers.
Among the 33 major electronics / hardware brands we've scored, Lenovo is tied =13th of 33, with 1 other.
Its three lowest-scoring questions, and what the evidence didn't show.
No evidence of TNFD adoption, formal biodiversity assessment, or deforestation-free commitments found.
However, near-term Scope 3 targets for purchased goods (66.5% per $M gross profit) and transport (25% per tonne-km) are intensity-based.
The full reasoning is in the ten questions below.

The 3 companies in the sector scoring nearest above Lenovo.
HP has built genuinely strong absolute carbon reductions (27% since 2019) and SBTi-validated targets including a 90% reduction by 2040.
See the breakdown →Apple's total emissions fell from 23.2 Mt in FY2021 to 15.3 Mt in FY2025 but were flat from FY2024 to FY2025, and product-related Scope 3 rose in FY2025.
See the breakdown →Sony has credible net-zero targets validated by SBTi and strong operational emissions reporting, but Scope 3 remains massive at 18Mt CO₂e with only marginal long-term reduction from baseline.
