About this Report
VTech published its second Sustainability Report for the financial
year 2014 (FY2014). The purpose of the report was not only to
communicate our sustainability strategies, management approaches
and performances with our stakeholders, but also comprehensively
introduce our ongoing activities for our sustainable development toward
the societies and environment in which we operate.
VTech considers sustainability as a direction for our long-term
development. In our Sustainability Report 2015, we not only continued
to follow the Core option of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
Sustainability Reporting G4 Guidelines (G4 Guidelines) and its principles
of balance, comparability, accuracy, timeliness, clarity and reliability,
but also made reference to the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited
