Develop a Healthy and
Green Community
VTech not only dedicates its efforts
to minimising the environmental
impacts from our operations, but also
participates in different community
events to develop and promote a
healthy and green lifestyle within VTech
and the community.
To support a sustainable lifestyle, we
had established the organic farm in one
of our manufacturing sites a few years
ago, where employees could practise
their urban farming techniques and
VTech has provided a wide range
of outdoor activities and training
programmes for our employees
to enjoy life out of work, such as
hiking trips, Tai Chi lessons and Trail
Run training programme taught by
professional athlete trainers.
In order to provide opportunities
for our employees to get a better
understanding of the ecosystem and
biodiversity, we have organised a
green urban living workshop at our
headquarters. Through this workshop,
the environmentalist guest speaker
addressed the environmental impacts
arising from our daily routines and

enjoy the low carbon living experience
during their break time. Moreover, we
continue to support the Green LUCK
Banquet of Green Monday and follow
the three principles – no waste, no
shark fin and one vegetarian dish at
our annual dinner. We also continue to
sign up the pledge for Earth Hour and
partner with the Greeners Action in
the Red Packets Recycling Scheme to
encourage the recycling of materials.
Biodiversity
In FY2017, we partnered with one
of the local green groups, Ecobus
and engaged in their coastal cleanup
campaign, providing opportunities for
our employees to understand the cause
of threat to our marine environment.
This programme promotes the concept
of ocean conservation amongst our
employees and takes another step
forward in protecting our ecosystem.
Our volunteer teams participated in
the local tree planting activities at the
suburbs, which aim to expand native
species by providing sustainable
habitats, as well as further strengthen
the stability of our ecosystem.
