CJ Korea Express (CEO Shin Young-soo) will play as a sportsman with disabilities.
CJ Korea Express and the Seoul Sports Council for the Disabled signed a business agreement to revitalize sports for the disabled on the 3rd. The agreement, signed to promote sports for the disabled and to promote the employment of athletes with disabilities, involved about 30 people, including officials, athletes, and guardians.
The Seoul Sports Council for the Disabled has been steadily promoting the linkage of hiring athletes for the disabled through cooperation with private-public companies. Along with this agreement, CJ Korea Express held an inauguration ceremony for the 'CJ Korea Express Disabled Sports Team" consisting of 21 athletes in 10 sports, including auditory soccer, goalball, cycling, billiards, and snowboarding. The creation of a disabled business team is significant in that it provides a foundation for players to maintain their performance with a stable sense of belonging beyond simple employment. As such, it is considered a very unusual case and a remarkable corporate social contribution model for a single company to form and operate an unemployment team for the disabled in various sports. The Seoul Sports Council for the Disabled and CJ Korea Express will continue to cooperate in various ways, including revitalizing sports for the disabled based on their hometown, conducting joint campaigns, and promoting sports for the disabled.
The Seoul Sports Council for the Disabled said 'We plan to further revitalize the disabled athletes through continuous cooperation with public institutions and private companies and promote various policies to help the disabled realize social integration and independence through sports.'"
