VTECH SUSTAINABILITY ACTIVITIES

This is the third year that our volunteers took part in one of
the fund raising campaigns run by Movember Foundation in
Canada, addressing the common health issues and raising
money for cancer research. VTech has raised more than CAD
8,000 for this event in FY2017.
Collaborate with Local
Charities
VTech has been working with a number
of local charities to build a harmonious
relationship within our community.
We have been working closely with
our partners including Hong Kong
Federation of Youth Group (HKFYG),
Red Cross, Hong Kong Children
and Youth Service, Tai Po Baptist
Church Social Service (TPBCSS) and
Greeners Action. Through our long-
term commitments to various charitable
activities, we aim to bring positive
impacts to the community. Every year,
Red Cross sets up a temporary blood
donation station at our Hong Kong
office to encourage our employees to
make blood donation. Moreover, our
volunteers have also arranged regular
visits to elderly homes and local cultural
and ecology tours for children.
During the mid-autumn festival, VTech
usually gives out moon cakes to all
employees as gifts for celebrating
the traditional festival. In FY2017, we
partnered with the Hong Chi Bakery
and presented our employees with
the tasty moon cakes. In FY2017, our
employees participated in the Oxfam
Trailwalker 2016, Sowers Action
Challenging 12 Hours 2016, AXA
Hong Kong Streetathon, and Standard
Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2017.
Our Sowers Action Team won the 1st
runner-up and 2nd runner-up in the
category 26 km and 42 km Corporate
Team respectively. We received the
2nd Top Participation Award in the
AXA Hong Kong Streetathon in both
2016 & 2017 and were presented
the Golden Corporate Participation
Award in Sowers Action Challenging
12 Hours 2016. VTech was also
the 2nd runner-up in the “Run for
Paralympians” organised by Standard
Chartered Hong Kong Marathon 2017.
We also collaborate with local charities
to support various charitable activities
around the world. In FY2017, we have
made charitable and other donations of
over US$235,500 in FY2017.
VTech Book Corner
In FY2016, VTech established the “VTech Book
Corner” Programme aiming to provide fun and
innovative learning experiences to children in
the remote areas. In FY2017, we continued this
meaningful programme by building more VTech
Book Corners for the local schools in remote
areas, and donating many story books and
educational toys for the students.
To further improve the learning environment as
well as the health of the school children in those
remote areas, we have also provided them with
desk lamps and shoes.
