About this Report

VTech published its first Sustainability Report for the financial year 2013.

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 towards the societies and environment in

which we operate.

VTech considers sustainability as a direction for our long-term development.

In our Sustainability Report 2017, 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 (the Stock Exchange) Environmental,

Social and Governance (ESG) Reporting Guide (ESG Guide)

to define our

report content. In order to identify and assess the material concerns of

our stakeholders, we have also conducted materiality assessment surveys

through a number of stakeholder engagement activities to determine the

factors that have material impacts on our sustainable growth, and included

them in the summary of our sustainability strategies and targets.
