When Green Spirit Meets Sporting Endurance

In 2025, Cần Giờ – the “Green Lungs” of Ho Chi Minh City and a UNESCO-recognized World Biosphere Reserve – once again became the focal point for the sports and environmental community with the return of the HDBank Green Marathon 2025. This is not merely an international-standard marathon race but also a journey to spread the spirit of green living, health, and social responsibility.

In this meaningful event, SAPUWA, a reputable purified drinking water brand, is proud to be a sponsoring partner, helping to fuel thousands of steps conquering the lush green routes. Notably, the SAPUWA employee team did not stop at the role of sponsorship but actively laced up their running shoes to participate, affirming the company's commitment to be “Green in thought, Green in action.”

SAPUWA and the Strategic Sponsorship Decision for HDBank Green Marathon 2025

SAPUWA’s sponsorship of the HDBank Green Marathon 2025 in Cần Giờ is a strategic decision, reflecting the harmony in business philosophy and core values between the two parties.

Purified Water Complements High-Performance Sports

For a long-distance race like a marathon, drinking water plays a crucial role in maintaining athletes' energy and endurance. SAPUWA, with its modern, closed-loop production process, always ensures the purest quality, making it the ideal water source to help runners replenish fluids and overcome challenges on the sun-drenched and breezy Sac Forest route.

Aligned Vision for Sustainable Development

The HDBank Green Marathon is known as one of the races focusing on the environment and community. With goals such as planting trees, collecting beach trash, and spreading a green lifestyle, the race perfectly aligns with SAPUWA's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) direction.

SAPUWA is committed to continuously minimizing its environmental impact, from optimizing production processes to promoting bottle recycling. Sponsoring this race is how SAPUWA concretizes its commitment: protecting the water source and the Cần Giờ ecosystem is essentially protecting human life.

SAPUWA Employees – Green Spirit Ambassadors on the Race Track

What makes this partnership special is the enthusiastic participation of the SAPUWA staff team itself. Personnel from various departments registered together, becoming genuine brand ambassadors and environmental ambassadors.

Running for Health, Running for the Environment

The SAPUWA Employees Run Cần Giờ Marathon not only to train their health and push their personal limits but also carry a bigger mission: running for the greenness of Cần Giờ. Each of their steps is an affirmation of a healthy and meaningful lifestyle, demonstrating a dynamic and responsible corporate culture.

Conquering the challenging Half Marathon (21km) distance, SAPUWA employees created a beautiful image: the perfect combination of physical endurance and resilient willpower. Their presence inspired and energized other athletes.

Unified Corporate Culture

Training together and overcoming difficulties on the running track helped strengthen teamwork and internal cohesion within SAPUWA. This activity became a part of the corporate culture, encouraging employees to actively participate in community activities and physical training. After the event, each SAPUWA employee returned with inspirational stories and pride in the brand they represent.

The "Green" Mark in Cần Giờ: More Than Just a Race

The HDBank Green Marathon 2025 was organized in conjunction with the Nghinh Ông Cần Giờ Festival series of events, creating a unique cultural – sports – environmental event that attracted international attention.

Reforestation and SAPUWA’s Community Action

In addition to providing drinking water, SAPUWA actively collaborated in meaningful community activities:

• Planting trees in the Cần Giờ Sac Forest: SAPUWA, along with the organizers and volunteers, joined hands to plant hundreds of cóc trees in the Sac Forest, directly contributing to expanding the area of the "green lungs" and increasing carbon absorption capacity.

• 

These actions prove that SAPUWA's sponsorship is not just financial support but active participation in environmental protection activities, bringing practical and long-lasting value to the Biosphere Reserve.

Spreading Environmental Awareness

The HDBank Green Marathon 2025 route meandered through majestic mangrove forests and poetic coastal roads. This green space strongly impacted the awareness of more than 4,000 athletes. SAPUWA utilized this opportunity to spread the message about the purity of its products and the cleanliness of the environment. The goal is to turn every runner into a green ambassador, who continues to spread environmental awareness in their own communities.
