Product Responsibility
& Innovation
VTech strives not only to provide high quality products
and comply with the highest international and local
quality and safety standards, but also incorporate
sustainability concepts into product design in order to
enhance the well-being of our customers and benefit
the society.
VTech strives not only to provide high
quality products and comply with
the highest international and local
quality and safety standards, but also
incorporate sustainability concepts into
product design in order to enhance
the well-being of our customers and
benefit the society. Our management
approach continues to focus on two
key management principles – “Design
for People” and “Design for Excellence”.
Design for People
Addressing our customers’ needs is
our primary responsibility in the stage
of product design. We continuously
use our technological expertise to help
improve the health and safety of our
customers, which is our number one
objective. Our baby monitor series
and wireless monitoring system with
Ultra-Low-Energy (ULE) standard are
the principal examples. VTech also
uses its global leadership position in
electronic learning products to develop
high-quality and innovative educational
products that inspire children’s creativity
through fun and smart play. In order to
stay in harmony with the environment,
we also incorporate the eco-design
principles into our products and
launched many eco-friendly products.
For examples, we have Digital European
Cordless Telecommunications (DECT)
cordless phones with Blue Angel eco-
label, the new level VI power adaptor
with Energy Star eco-label, and energy
monitoring device manufactured by our
VTech CMS.
Products for Customers’
Health and Safety
With increasing global awareness of
people’s health and lifestyle, VTech’s
product design team has applied
innovative designs and functionality
elements in developing products that
could help customers to live with ease
and safety. We also work closely with
different target customers including
parents, seniors and children to design
our products in order to address their
needs for the enhancement of their
well-being.
VTech Baby Monitor Series
The safety and well-being of babies
are the major concerns to the parents.
VTech is committed to providing
parents with a wide range of reliable
baby monitors with all the necessary
safety features that help keep track of
their babies and give parents the peace
of mind they need. In FY2016, VTech
introduced new additions to its award-
winning baby monitor series with strong
and secure Wi-Fi friendly features.
