Part 1
Starting background of the project/
initiative
Throughout the process of building and developing the country, the Party and the Government have always been concerned about and emphasized the development of physical education and sports in the country. Along with the trend of modern life development, people's awareness of the importance of physical exercise for health is increasing, especially the desire to participate in community fitness activities. Capturing this trend, BIDV has pioneered the launch and organization of the Movement Running Tournament, recording achievements online in the banking industry. It integrates sports activities with volunteer activities to encourage people to actively participate in physical fitness and spread the spirit of community sharing. In addition, the sports movement at BIDV has also been strongly developed. BIDV has implemented various competitions and sports festivals to encourage and spread the spirit of sports training throughout the system. In 2019, in response to the Prime Minister's call for a Strategy for the Development of Physical Education and Sports in Vietnam, BIDV launched the BIDV Smile Run as part of the Service Development Project, aiming to promote the spirit of innovation, creativity, and enthusiastic labor of the staff. Following this success, BIDV annually implements running programs such as the Warm Tet Run for the Poor - For Beloved Central Vietnam, BIDVRUN - For Green Life in 2022, 2023, and more. Since then, BIDVRUN has become a distinctive mark of the BIDV sports movement in particular and the community sports movement in general, contributing to spreading the spirit of sports training. It also encourages individuals to take action for the social community, protect the green living environment, and contribute to the sustainable development and prosperity of Vietnam.
