In this episode of Smart Freight Conversations: The Leadership Series, we speak with Golden Xing, Director of Global Logistics Operations at Lenovo, to explore how one of the world’s leading technology companies is reducing supply chain emissions and driving innovation in global logistics. 

Key topics covered in the conversation include:

What is Lenovo’s ambition? 

Lenovo is the first PC and smartphone manufacturer to have both near-term and long-term emission reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The company aims to cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50 percent and Scope 3 emissions by up to 66.5 percent by 2030, with a goal of reaching net zero by 2050. In logistics, Lenovo has already reduced emissions intensity by 32 percent over the past seven years, achieving its 2030 target five years ahead of schedule. 

What does this look like in practice? 

Golden shares how Lenovo is shifting freight from air to ocean while maintaining delivery performance, helping to avoid thousands of tons of CO₂ emissions. The company has introduced sustainable aviation and marine fuel programs, becoming one of the first shippers in China to do so. Lenovo is also expanding its electric vehicle fleet for final-mile delivery, which now represents more than 35 percent of its vehicles in China. 

Why does this matter? 

Lenovo’s approach shows how innovation and accountability can make global logistics more sustainable. The company’s progress is guided by its corporate values, customer expectations, and a growing commitment from employees who want to be part of meaningful change. For Lenovo, decarbonization is not only a climate goal but a way to strengthen trust and long-term business performance.
