CSR goes beyond checkboxes and charity drives. It’s about being present in the lives of people and communities, especially during moments that define their identity and values. At CodeComplete, CSR is how we give back through action, empathy, and a commitment to honoring those who shaped our society.
This Vietnamese Martyrs’ Day, we pause not only to remember but to act. By weaving CSR into our culture, we aim to honor the spirit of service that so many have given their lives for.
Why is this day special to us?
Every year on July 27, Vietnam observes Martyrs’ and Wounded Soldiers’ Day, a National Day of Remembrance for those who sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence and freedom. It’s a time when the entire nation pauses to remember those who sacrificed their lives for independence and freedom. It’s a moment when families light incense, neighbors gather, and the whole country reflects on the true cost of peace.
While this day has deep personal meaning for many Vietnamese, it also offers an opportunity for companies to align their values with national memory. CSR becomes not just a business strategy, but a way to express cultural respect, social awareness, and long-term commitment to local communities.
Why CSR Matters, Especially Now
CSR has evolved into a core function of modern businesses. Today, employees, customers, and partners expect companies to stand for something beyond profit. It’s no longer about “giving back” once a year, CSR is now about contributing consistently.
At CodeComplete, our CSR efforts go hand-in-hand with our mission: empowering people through technology and meaningful relationships. We believe that building software is only one part of the job, the other part is building people, communities, and shared trust.
On Martyrs’ Day, this mission takes on deeper meaning. We’re not just honoring the past, we’re ensuring our actions today reflect the gratitude we feel for the freedoms we enjoy.
How We Celebrate Through CSR
At CodeComplete, we believe that meaningful CSR goes beyond donations, it’s about connection, compassion, and shared humanity. On Vietnamese Martyrs’ Day, our team took the time to personally visit the families of war veterans and fallen heroes across different regions. These visits weren’t just formal gestures; they were heartfelt conversations and moments of real human connection.
We brought along thoughtful care packages tailored to the needs of each family from daily essentials to comforting gifts showing that their sacrifices are not forgotten. But what mattered most was the time we spent listening. Our team sat down with war veterans and their loved ones, hearing first-hand accounts of courage, loss, and resilience. These stories moved us deeply and reminded us why CSR should always stay human at its core.
A member of our team, in particular, found these visits incredibly humbling. Many had never spoken directly to a veteran or war widow before. Through this experience, they not only understood history more vividly but also saw how their own work in tech and innovation can still be rooted in empathy and social values.
Our CSR celebration didn’t stop there. We also reached out and connected with local community centers and veteran associations, not just to support this visit, but to start building relationships that could lead to more meaningful activities in the future. While this was just one step, it laid the foundation for future collaborations where we hope to continue giving back in ways that matter whether through volunteer time, shared events, or simply showing up when it counts.
