Ahlqvist attended the Beijing marathon last Sunday, in support of the company's charity project Run for Hope. Joining him were 99 workers from the company. According to Ahlqvist, after the marathon, the company will donate money to the China Youth Development Foundation, to help improve the country's school facilities in less-favored areas.

"I go to the gym and I run frequently. It helps me to clear my mind and focus on the work. For me, it's a healthy lifestyle," said Ahlqvist.
