FORVIA Green IT Classroom: New Suzhou Site Inaugurated and Fengcheng Site Upgraded

Shanghai, 28 November 2025FORVIA, the global automotive technology supplier, who comprises the complementary technology and industrial strengths of Faurecia and HELLA, has inaugurated Green IT Classroom at the Hong Ming Ke Primary School in Hengshan Town, Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. In addition, the Green IT Classroom in Fengcheng, Jiangxi, which has been in operation for four years, has been newly upgraded around the theme of “Resource Conservation.” This initiative champions digital education and the circular economy by transforming recycled computers into powerful teaching tools, creating a richer digital learning environment for students.

“Global resource and environmental challenges are issues faced by all humanity. The ‘Blue Effect’ initiative launched by the Group is our core action framework to address this topic”, says Li Li, Vice President of China Operations at Faurecia. “As a responsible automotive technology company, we firmly believe that proactive efforts can drive profound sustainable change. Through the ‘Green IT Classroom’ project, we hope to help children explore a broader world, unite forces from all sectors, start with small actions, and move together toward a more resilient future.”

“It is a great pleasure to witness the inauguration of the new Green IT Classroom in Suzhou. Our sustainability philosophy is not only reflected in environmental protection but also runs through our practical actions for society and the next generation’s growth”, says Yue Lu, Director of Corporate Legal, Compliance, and Audit China at FORVIA HELLA. “Through this project, we aim not only to open a window to the world for children but also to focus on cultivating them into future pillars with both digital literacy and sustainable development capabilities, injecting a continuous stream of new vitality into global sustainable development.”

In Suzhou, Faurecia and FORVIA HELLA jointly donated 40 refurbished computers, significantly upgrading the school’s hardware and creatively integrating technology and environmental education. This approach has sparked students’ creativity and environmental awareness. At the launch event, volunteers from Faurecia and FORVIA HELLA China collaborated with the school, and community organizations to bring the project to life. Volunteers guided students through AI public welfare classes, exploring innovative uses of artificial intelligence in the automotive sector. In a solar-powered art workshop, children built solar model cars, blending clean energy with artistic expression and further inspiring innovation and environmental consciousness.

FORVIA also upgraded the Green IT Classroom in Fengcheng, Jiangxi, which has been running for four years, around the theme of “Resource Conservation.” FORVIA’s environmental experts delivered vivid and practical lessons to students, covering water resource protection and low-carbon lifestyle habits, and guided students in creating digital posters. These courses are both practical and creative, helping students establish environmental awareness while effectively enhancing their digital skills.

Over the past decade, the FORVIA Green IT Classroom project (including its predecessor, the Faurecia Green IT Classroom) has reached 13 schools across China, donating 430 refurbished computers and benefiting more than 7,500 students, with the support of 290 dedicated company volunteers. By recycling computers, the initiative has eliminated 1.5 tons of electronic waste and reduced carbon dioxide emissions by over 132 tons. Looking ahead, FORVIA remains committed to advancing public welfare in education and driving progress in digital learning and sustainable development.
