Reflection of Gender Equality in Enterprises —Taking Lenovo as an Example
Abstract
Environmental, Social, and Governance model has gradually become an important element that cannot be ignored in the process of enterprise development. Lenovo has been selected into the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index for many years in a row, and through the release of the industry’s annual “Global Diversity and Inclusion Report”, it discloses various equal rights including gender equality. In terms of gender equality, Lenovo has created an open and diverse work culture for employees, and has become the strongest driving force behind Lenovo’s 35-year history as a leader and enabler of intelligent transformation. This article takes Lenovo as a case study object, discusses the combination of corporate law and feminism in Environmental, Social, and Governance model, the role of Environmental, Social, and Governance model rating in promoting gender equality of Lenovo employees and its impact on corporate value, and finally summarizes how Environmental, Social, and Governance model rating can be reformed to make it better grounded in feminist conclusions. This article uses literature reviews and questionnaire surveys as research methods. As a conclusion for this article, the application of Environmental, Social, and Governance model ratings and feminism in corporate law can promote gender equality among Lenovo employees, pave the way for an inclusive corporate economy and specific equality, and promote corporate value.
