This is the tenth consecutive year Lenovo has received awards from the HKICPA.
In addition, Lenovo has once again been honored with the Corporate Governance Excellence Award (Category 1: Hang Seng Index Constituent Companies) conferred by CHKLC and CCGFP of HKBU on 13 December.

To recognize Hong Kong-listed companies for their efforts in inducing the social capital concepts into their ESG and sustainability policies, Lenovo has also been commended in the “SC‧ESG Awards”, presented by the CIIF on 14 December. For the first time since 2012, this award is in collaboration with the HKQAA and marks the 20th anniversary of the CIIF in addition to its biennial “Social Capital Builder Awards”.
