A Call to Action from Cần Giờ’s “Green Lungs”

In the relentless efforts to preserve and promote the value of the Cần Giờ Mangrove Biosphere Reserve – the precious “Green Lungs” of Ho Chi Minh City – 2025 marks a significant milestone. The HDBank Green Marathon 2025 event, a highlight in the traditional Nghinh Ông Cần Giờ Festival series, is not just a sporting arena but a call to action for the environment. Thousands of athletes and partner organizations flocked to Cần Giờ, carrying the spirit of "Live Green – Run Healthy – Look towards a Sustainable Future."

In this journey of creating sustainable values, SAPUWA proudly took part, joining hands to plant trees and reforest the Cần Giờ Sac Forest. This is not only a practical action but also a clear testament to the commitment to Social Responsibility and the Sustainable Development orientation that SAPUWA consistently pursues.

SAPUWA – A Pioneer Enterprise with a Sustainable Green Commitment

SAPUWA, a purified drinking water brand familiar to Vietnamese consumers, not only provides quality products but also aims to become an environmentally friendly enterprise. The activity of partnering with the HDBank Green Marathon 2025 to plant trees in the Cần Giờ Sac Forest is a strategic step, concretizing the company's business philosophy: Business tied to nature protection.

As a company operating in the drinking water sector, SAPUWA clearly understands the importance of water resources and ecosystems. Protecting the Cần Giờ Mangrove Forest – recognized by UNESCO as a World Biosphere Reserve – is protecting the very source of life, fresh air, and natural balance for the entire region.

SAPUWA is committed to not only producing quality products but also striving to reduce its carbon footprint, promote recycling, and especially invest in meaningful environmental projects, such as this tree planting initiative. The cooperation with the HDBank Green Marathon shows that SAPUWA is joining the organizers in creating an event that brings a positive, long-term impact on the community and the environment.

Reforestation in Sac Forest – A Priceless Gift for Cần Giờ

The reforestation activity is one of the most meaningful highlights within the framework of the HDBank Green Marathon 2025. This is a direct action to restore and expand the mangrove area, playing a crucial role in combating climate change and protecting the coast.

The Sac Forest is not only a diverse ecosystem but also a robust natural line of defense for HCMC. Mangrove forests help prevent erosion and landslides, effectively absorb carbon, and serve as a habitat for many aquatic species. Through the Sapuwa Tree Planting Cần Giờ Sac Forest activity, SAPUWA, along with the running community and volunteers, directly sowed green seeds, contributing to the conservation of this world natural heritage.

The combination of the marathon race and environmental action has created a strong inspiration. SAPUWA employees, along with HDBank officials, used their own hands to plant the cóc trees – the characteristic species of the Cần Giờ Mangrove Forest. Every tree planted is not only a new life but also a commitment from SAPUWA and the community to a greener future. It is a transition from the sports spirit of "running for health" to the concrete and meaningful action of "running for the environment."

The Connection of Culture and Nature: Nghinh Ông and the Green Marathon

The HDBank Green Marathon 2025 does not stand alone. The race is organized within the series of events of the Nghinh Ông Cần Giờ Festival – a National Intangible Cultural Heritage. This combination presents a comprehensive picture of the harmony between people, culture, and nature.

The Nghinh Ông Cần Giờ Festival is a spiritual activity, expressing gratitude to the Whale God and praying for favorable weather and abundant harvests. When SAPUWA's reforestation activity is integrated, it is not merely environmental protection but also the inheritance and promotion of the fishermen's spirit of respecting nature. Protecting the mangrove forest is protecting livelihoods and the sea – the very focus of the Nghinh Ông Festival.

SAPUWA – through its partnership with the HDBank Green Marathon – not only spreads the "green living" message but also inspires a dynamic, healthy lifestyle. Organizing the race in Cần Giờ allows thousands of people to experience the beauty of the lush green Sac Forest roads, thereby naturally and deeply raising environmental awareness and spreading the Green – Healthy – Digital spirit to everyone.

The Sapuwa Tree Planting Cần Giờ Sac Forest activity is a long-term investment in the future. For SAPUWA, this is an opportunity to affirm its position as a company dedicated not only to profit but also to the community. The SAPUWA brand image is now associated with the purity of its product and the cleanliness of the living environment. Every bottle of SAPUWA water consumed is also an indirect contribution to protecting Cần Giờ's "green lungs."

The Unrelenting Journey for the Environment

The journey of the Sapuwa Tree Planting Cần Giờ Sac Forest within the framework of the HDBank Green Marathon 2025 and the Nghinh Ông Cần Giờ Festival has successfully concluded, but the spirit of "For a Green and Sustainable Cần Giờ" continues.

SAPUWA commits to continuing its partnership and initiating many more meaningful activities, not stopping at tree planting but also in other conservation and sustainable development efforts. Let's join SAPUWA and the community in striving for a future where human health and planetary health are always prioritized!
