The common traits in Vietnamese people are optimism and autonomy, and making relentless effort to realise their big dreams and aspirations. At Techcombank, we echo that spirit and we want to do our part in making our country a better place to live and work. Since late 2016, our long-term Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy has been enabling Vietnamese people to realise their dreams in their own ways, so that we can Be Greater together.

We are striving to lead, to inspire, and to spread the Be Greater way of life. This will be reflected in different themes such as health and wellness, environment, education, startups and career orientation. Techcombank will sponsor marathon races to remind everyone to stay active and healthy. We will also be running media programs to raise environmental awareness, prompting people to live green, while enabling Vietnamese people to realise their dreams in their own way.
One of the highlighted activities that demonstrates Techcombank’s long-term CSR strategy over the years, and especially in 2019, was sponsoring and organising endurance sports events such as the International HCM Techcombank Marathon and the International Danang Ironman, which has created a very positive and active life style for every one that participates. We train together, we promote a healthy lifestyle and, at the same time, we send a strong message that perseverance and everyday training and effort is what it takes to pursue and realise the dreams of every one in Vietnam.
