[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Ottogi and the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled held the founding ceremony of Ottogi Friends, a subsidiary-type standard workplace for the disabled, at Ottogi's Anyang factory on the 11th.

Attending the ceremony were Ham Young-jun, Chairman of Ottogi; Hwang Seong-man, President; Jang Gyeong-eop, CEO of Ottogi Friends; Cha Jeong-hoon, Employment Promotion Director of the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled; Jeong Ho-yeon, Head of the Gyeonggi Regional Headquarters; Bae Hae-dong, Chairman of the Anyang-Gwacheon Chamber of Commerce and Industry; and about 20 disabled workers employed at Ottogi Friends.

Ottogi Friends is a subsidiary-type standard workplace for the disabled established to create jobs for disabled people. Since the signing of the agreement between the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled and Ottogi in January 2021 to establish a subsidiary-type standard workplace, there was a preparation period including naming contests for the standard workplace, job postings for disabled workers, and on-site training for recruitment. The 20 disabled workers finally hired will directly participate in the packaging process of Ottogi's planned products.

The 'subsidiary-type standard workplace for the disabled' is a system in which disabled workers employed by a subsidiary are recognized as employed by the parent company. This system provides high-quality and stable jobs for disabled people and allows companies to fulfill their obligations to employ disabled workers.
