[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation (aT) accelerated ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management by hiring 10 disabled athletes for the first time among public institutions in the agriculture and fisheries sector.

After signing a business agreement with the Jeonnam Disabled Sports Association, the corporation directly employed disabled athletes as of the 1st of last month and held a commissioning ceremony at its headquarters in Naju on the 2nd. They hired 10 athletes across five sports: lawn bowls, weightlifting, billiards, rugby, and athletics. They selected a diverse group, including promising rookie athletes and those with awards from the National Disabled Sports Competition.

Kim Chunjin, president of aT, said, "I hope the athletes can focus more on their training under stable conditions," adding, "We will continue to do our best to be a good corporation that takes the lead in fulfilling social responsibilities."

Before becoming president of aT, Kim was recognized as an outstanding member of the National Assembly for his legislative activities on disabled rights and welfare policies during his tenure as a lawmaker.
