BUSINESS INFO - PT Bank Tabungan Negara (Persero) Tbk held the BTN Run for Disabilities, Run for Inclusivity by running together with Paralympic athletes at Manahan Stadium, Solo, February 7, 2026. The event was attended by the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Budi Gunadi Sadikin, Mayor of Solo Respati Ardi, Director of Risk & Management BTN Setiyo Wibowo, and Deputy Secretary General of the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) Indonesia Rima Ferdianto.
In addition to being part of the BTN Jakarta International Marathon (BTN Jakim) 2026 series, this activity also reaffirms the company's commitment as an inclusive bank.
BTN Risk Management Director Setiyo Wibowo said that the principles of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) in the company are not only a means of implementing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). These principles serve as guiding values in the Bank's business processes.
“Running is an inclusive sport that can be enjoyed by everyone, including people with disabilities. Similarly, through running, BTN is committed to being an inclusive bank that is there for everyone, in line with ESG principles,” said Setiyo after running with people with disabilities at the BTN Run for Disabilities, Run for Inclusivity event at Manahan Stadium, Solo, on Saturday (7/2).
Setiyo continued BTN's commitment to becoming an inclusive bank, not only through financial services that can reach all levels of society. This support also takes the form of tangible support for sports, health, and the empowerment of people with disabilities in accordance with ESG principles.
“Through Run for Disabilities, Run for Inclusivity as part of Road to BTN Jakim, we want to emphasize BTN's role, which is not only focused on housing financing, but also consistently promotes health, inclusivity, and the welfare of the Indonesian people,” said Setiyo.
Additionally, during the same event, BTN donated assistance for facilities and infrastructure supporting Paralympic athletes. Furthermore, BTN will involve 10 disabled runners in BTN Jakim and initiate a fundraising campaign from tens of thousands of runners.
On the same occasion, Indonesian Minister of Health Budi Gunadi Sadikin said that running together with people with disabilities is expected to raise public awareness of the importance of increasing physical activity.
“Lack of physical activity ranks among the top five causes of disease in Indonesia. And running is the most inclusive, affordable, and healthy sport because all you need is a pair of shoes. Our friends with disabilities have proven they can do it, so why can't we who are healthy?” said Budi.
Mayor of Surakarta Respati Ardi appreciated BTN's initiative to actively involve people with disabilities in a national running event. "We realize the importance of systemic support for athletes with disabilities, from services and environment to their future after their athletic careers. We are grateful to BTN because through BTN Jakim, our friends with disabilities are truly involved. We hope this activity continues to create opportunities to strengthen Solo's role as an inclusive city," said Respati.
Deputy Secretary General of NPC Indonesia Rima Febianto assessed that the Run for Disabilities event was able to raise public awareness of sports for people with disabilities. With activities like this, parents with children with disabilities will see opportunities for their children's development. “We appreciate BTN for its initiative and support, which is very important for building a sustainable sports ecosystem for people with disabilities,” concluded Rima.
