For the ninth consecutive year, Lenovo’s Love on Month of Service (LMOS) continues to grow in both community impact and employee engagement. During LMOS, employees around the world are encouraged to give their time and energy to issues that impact their local communities, often focusing on access to education and technology. The program empowers employee project leaders to design and lead service projects that reflect local needs and engage their local colleagues in giving back. After launching in 2017, LMOS has become a cornerstone of Lenovo’s corporate citizenship, philanthropic efforts, and employee culture.
Each year, Lenovo aims to grow the program by at least one measurable metric – whether it’s amount of volunteers, time spent volunteering, number of beneficiaries, or offices engaging around the world. In 2025, the global corporate citizenship team was thrilled to see significant expansion across every measurable metric!
A staple of LMOS is its employee-led model. Lenovo provides resources and support, but the ideas, energy, and execution come from its people. This year, more than 160 unique projects took place around the world and online, each tailored to the needs of a community.
Project leaders in 81 office locations contributed nearly 22,000 hours of volunteer work through 5,636 instances of service. As a result, 90,673 community members received direct support. These numbers reflect not only the scale of the program, but also the deep commitment of Lenovo’s workforce to making a difference.
This growth was fueled by a wide range of volunteer experiences, including digital inclusion, education, sustainability, and support for people with disabilities—themes aligned with the company’s vision of providing Smarter Technology for All.
In Amsterdam, Lenovo employees joined the Football for All program, partnering with Sport Club Only Friends to raise awareness about accessibility in sports. Volunteers participated in inclusive football activities designed to highlight the importance of adaptive equipment and welcoming environments for players of all abilities.
“It was eye-opening to experience the game from a different perspective,” said Santiago Mendez Galvis, Head of EMEA Corporate Citizenship. “Accessibility isn’t just about infrastructure, it’s about empathy, understanding, and making sure everyone feels welcome on the field.”
In Argentina, Lenovo employees partnered with United Way Argentina to restore an educational center serving low-income youth. The project included painting and beautifying the outdoor space.
“There’s a deep sense of pride in seeing employees from across teams come together for a shared purpose,” said Alice Damasceno, Director of Corporate Citizenship for Latin America. “Giving back to the community isn’t just something we do, it’s part of who we are.”
Across multiple cities in China, Lenovo employees joined students for immersive, hands-on learning experiences focused on technology, STEM, and AI. Activities ranged from robot-building workshops, fossil exploration, guided tours of Lenovo offices, and more, where students learned about innovation and career paths in tech.
In North Carolina, Lenovo employees organized a community bike tour to raise awareness and funds for local nonprofits. The event culminated in a hands-on volunteer activity where teams assembled and donated bicycles to students at a nearby school, promoting both mobility, independence, and fun.
“When we connect our passion for service with real community needs, the results are powerful,” said Libby Richards, Senior Community Engagement Manager at Lenovo. “This project gave our employees a chance to get active, give back, and directly support students in a way that’s both meaningful and memorable.”
In Indonesia, Lenovo employees planted nearly 1,000 mangrove trees along coastal areas in partnership with local environmental organizations. The initiative aimed to support biodiversity, prevent erosion, and contribute to climate resilience in vulnerable ecosystems.
“Mangroves are nature’s protectors, they shield coastlines, nurture marine life, and absorb carbon,” said Pratima Harite, Head of Corporate Citizenship for Asia Pacific. “Our employees in Indonesia embraced this initiative as a powerful act of environmental stewardship. Their wholehearted participation reflects Lenovo’s deep-rooted culture of giving back—where every action is driven by purpose, and every effort contributes to building resilient communities and a healthier planet.”
Beyond community impact, LMOS strengthens Lenovo’s employee culture. Employees report feeling more connected, engaged, and proud to work for a company that values giving back. The program also supports mental well-being and fosters collaboration across business units, functions and teams.
As LMOS continues to grow, Lenovo is committed to reaching and deepening the programs’ impact. We look forward to Lenovo’s 10th Love on Month of Service in 2026, celebrating impact and what is possible when innovation meets empathy.
Love on! (If you didn’t notice, that’s an anagram of Lenovo!)
