Stefan Larsen leads the company’s initiatives in sustainability, circular economy practices, and environmentally conscious product design. Originally from Denmark, Larsen emphasizes that his role is not tied to his nationality but to Europe’s broader leadership in sustainable technology, driven by government regulation and the values of younger generations.
At Lenovo, he has overseen programs such as asset recovery and IT refurbishment, helping extend the lifecycle of laptops, PCs, and servers. Larsen has also been central to promoting Neptune water-cooled servers, which reduce energy consumption by up to 40% and contribute to both cost savings and carbon reduction for Lenovo’s clients. Beyond large-scale innovations, he advocates for incremental changes, such as low-temperature soldering and easier repair design, which support Lenovo’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
