2022 Muse Silver Award recognizes innovative alert that reduces both materials used and carbon emissions
Lenovo's Service Supply Chain team recently developed a proprietary, AI-driven process to generate an alert, called the Intelligent Excessive Pre-alert, that identifies high-density packaging within the company's worldwide distribution hub in Suzhou, China. Once identified, that packaging is then reconfigured or replaced to be more efficient and environmentally friendly, yielding a reduced impact.
As a result of this innovation, Lenovo's worldwide hub has made a real, measurable difference in advancing Lenovo's sustainability goals: packaging materials were reduced by over 35% and related carbon emissions by 50,000KG, or the equivalent of 9000 trees, annually.
