[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] Pulmuone Foods and Pulmuone Food & Culture announced on the 6th that they signed an agreement with the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled on the 5th to establish a ‘subsidiary-type standard workplace for the disabled’ to create jobs for people with disabilities.

A subsidiary-type standard workplace for the disabled is a system where a business owner obligated to employ people with disabilities establishes a subsidiary meeting certain requirements, such as employing 10 or more people with disabilities. The subsidiary’s employed disabled workers are considered as employed by the parent company, which counts toward the employment rate and reduces the burden charges.

According to this agreement, Pulmuone Foods, Pulmuone Food & Culture, and the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled will jointly promote ▲ the successful establishment of subsidiary-type standard workplaces for the disabled ▲ installation of infrastructure for employing people with disabilities (convenience facilities, welfare facilities, etc.) ▲ introduction of various jobs for people with severe disabilities ▲ acquisition of certification for subsidiary-type standard workplaces for the disabled within 24 months. Pulmuone Foods and Pulmuone Food & Culture plan to establish subsidiary-type standard workplaces in 2023 and will expand hiring of people with disabilities starting with small packaging of products and manufacturing of eco-friendly ice packs.

Park Kwang-soon, CEO of Pulmuone Foods (co-CEO), and Lee Woo-bong, CEO of Pulmuone Food & Culture, said, “We are pleased to contribute to job creation by gradually building an environment where we can work directly with people with disabilities starting with this agreement ceremony,” and added, “Through this opportunity, which opens another new door for realizing social value, we will strive to create good jobs so that people with severe disabilities can demonstrate their individual abilities and achieve economic independence.”
