CJ Logistics, in collaboration with the Community Chest of Korea and the Milal Welfare Foundation, is launching a program to enhance the logistics capabilities of disabled small business owners.
On September 14, CJ Logistics announced it will support 22 businesses run by disabled individuals through its 'Green Delivery Plus 4th Phase' initiative.
Now in its fourth year, the Green Delivery Plus program aims to reduce logistics costs for small businesses and enhance their competitiveness in eco-friendly logistics. This year, the program will focus on providing concentrated support to disabled small business owners in partnership with the Milal Welfare Foundation, a specialized welfare organization for the disabled. The initiative seeks to strengthen the self-reliance of disabled small business owners, who often face higher barriers to entry in logistics operations, while promoting eco-friendly logistics.
Eligible businesses include those directly operated by disabled representatives or those with a workforce comprising at least 30% disabled employees, particularly those that rely heavily on logistics and use significant amounts of packaging materials. The selected 22 businesses will receive support of up to 1 million won for shipping costs and eco-friendly packaging materials worth 400,000 won, including one-touch paper boxes, paper tape, and honeycomb cushioning materials.
Additionally, offline training sessions will be held to share knowledge on logistics operations and eco-friendly packaging. The training, scheduled for October, will cover topics such as the use of eco-friendly packaging materials like tape-type invoices, films, and cardboard, as well as the latest logistics trends.
Disabled small business owners interested in participating can apply by scanning the QR code on the recruitment poster or through a Google form by September 30. More details can be found on the Milal Welfare Foundation's website.
A representative from CJ Logistics stated, "This initiative goes beyond simple logistics support; it is a program aimed at establishing a foundation for the self-reliance of disabled small business owners. We will continue to work with the Community Chest of Korea and the Milal Welfare Foundation to create a healthy logistics ecosystem and support small businesses."
Meanwhile, CJ Logistics has passed the second follow-up audit for the international standard 'ISO 37301' for compliance management systems, overseen by the Korea Compliance Promotion Agency. The company plans to strengthen its compliance management system through education, information provision, and on-site monitoring.
