 ▶Health - Improving medical accessibilityVATECH Networks donated its X-ray products to seniors in rural areas and foreign workers to enhance their dental health.

Also, the company developed low-end products, helping people in developing countries to have access to appropriate dental treatments.

 

 

 ▶People - Saving energy for the next generationThe company has been running energy saving activities such as using a meal pre-booking system; encouraging the use of reusable cups; and carpool.

According to the report, the rate of leftover food decreased by 44% compared to the previous year, and 67.4% of the employees working at Dongtan headquarter participated in the carpool program.
