Joseph Nathan Notman, CEO of Coupang Fulfillment Services, received the commendation from the Minister of Employment and Labor at the '2020 Disability Employment Promotion Conference' hosted by the Ministry of Employment and Labor and the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled on the same day.

The conference has been held annually since 1991 to raise social awareness and share best practices in disability employment by awarding outstanding employers, workers, and contributors in the field of disability employment.

Coupang Fulfillment Services was recognized for actively contributing to the creation of new jobs to promote disability employment and for fostering a non-discriminatory working environment.

Coupang Fulfillment Services explained that it is making efforts to hire people with severe disabilities, who face relatively greater challenges in finding employment. They are creating customized jobs through job development to help people with severe disabilities enter new fields, providing vocational training, and developing educational programs to help them adapt well to their work.
