Planting Seeds for the Future: A Look Back at FORVIA Green IT Classroom in Suzhou & Fengcheng

In November 2025, FORVIA Group's Green IT Classroom Inspiring Tomorrow Program reached two locations: Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, and Fengcheng, Jiangxi Province. Through both a new launch and a renovation, the program continued to empower the mission in transforming e-waste and green technology into educational resources, advancing the company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility.
 
Suzhou: New Classrooms Set Sail for a “Greener” Tomorrow
On November 25th, the 13th FORVIA Green IT Classroom was inaugurated at a migrant school in Hengshan Town, Suzhou’s Wujiang District. FORVIA provided over 40 refurbished green computers, significantly improving the school's digital learning conditions. Ms. Li Li, Operations Vice President at Faurecia China, and Mr. Lu Yue, Director of Corporate Legal, Compliance and Audit China at FORVIA HELLA, attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches. They highlighted that the "Green IT Classroom" is more than a platform for learning tools for the kids. It aims to inspire children's enthusiasm for exploring the world, fostering digital skills while planting the seeds pf sustainability.
 
All volunteer activities were themed "Sailing Towards Tomorrow." In the IT classroom, volunteers guided students to explore the use of artificial intelligence in smart mobility, sparking their curiosity about cutting-edge technology. “Solar-Powered Car Workshop" that followed was loved by all kids. Children assembled their own mini cars, —experiencing firsthand the power of clean energy and the joy of creativity in motion.
 
Fengcheng: Renewing a Classroom, Deepening Resource Conservation
On November 28, the program made its way to Fengcheng High-tech Zone Primary School in Jiangxi, where a Green IT Classroom—after four years of steady use—received a complete renewal.
 
Ms. Kathy Sun, Human Resources Vice President at Faurecia China and JIKA Regions, together with local government representatives and volunteers, attended the classroom renewal ceremony. For the "resource conservation" workshop followed, volunteers began a conversation on the importance of protecting water resources, and then encouraged students to create digital posters on environmental topics, and shared daily low-carbon practices, ultimately transforming sustainable concepts from awareness into action, allowing them to take root and grow in the children's hearts.
 
A Long-Term Commitment to Empowering Education with the Circular Economy
Over the past thirteen years, FORVIA Group has advanced its commitment to sustainability through the program of Green IT Classroom Inspiring Tomorrow, effectively embedding circular economy principles into scalable social initiatives. By refurbishing idle computers, the program reduces e-waste while delivering quality digital learning tools to underprivileged schools—bridging the digital divide and opening doors to a wider world for more children.
