VTECH SUSTAINABILITY ACTIVITIES
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. We have developed a series
of baby soothers that help parents take
care of their babies. We have partnered
with the local broadband service
leader to enhance the performance
of our smart home device. We have
also launched unique wireless smart
headphones that help users stay fit
and connected at all times. Meanwhile,
VTech continues to use 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 launch many
eco-friendly products.
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 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.
Wireless Smart Headphones
More people enjoy not being disturbed
while listening to music, especially
when they are on the run. A smart
powerful microcomputer could definitely
make one’s life much easier, while
enjoying the luxurious audio quality.
VTech continues to use its technical
expertise and resources to help our
customer bring innovative ideas to
life, by producing the one-of-a-kind
personalised smart device.
The waterproof earpiece is featured
with a health tracker, keeping track of
users’ health performances such as
heart rate. With the option of noise
cancellation, users could enjoy the
luxurious acoustic effect from their
favourite music. The built-in sensors
in this smart device also allow users
to give commands to this earpiece
with customised gestures and
movements, such as nod heads to
accept phone calls and shake heads
to decline the call.
