[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] CJ Logistics is resuming face-to-face volunteer activities for its employees after a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19.

CJ Logistics announced on the 8th that since the 23rd of last month, it has been regularly conducting lunchbox delivery volunteer work every Tuesday and Friday at the Yaksu Senior Welfare Center.

This is the first face-to-face volunteer activity resumed after a two-year suspension due to COVID-19. CJ Logistics employees participating in the volunteer work prepare and deliver free lunchboxes for about 70 elderly people living alone in the Yaksu area.

This community contribution volunteer activity, which involves meeting the elderly in person, checking on their well-being and health status, has been steadily conducted since 2013. With the lifting of social distancing measures, it has been organized as a regular volunteer activity to support local welfare centers and the elderly.

Special volunteer activities for underprivileged children are also planned. In cooperation with local children's centers near their business sites, CJ Logistics will conduct cooking, baking, and DIY classes. Additionally, a cultural experience program inviting local children to the ‘CJ Logistics Super Race’ event, held over two days on the 22nd and 23rd of next month in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, is planned.

Efforts are also being made to improve the local environment near their workplaces. On the 25th of last month, a plogging activity was held near the logistics center located in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province. Plogging is an environmental cleanup activity that involves picking up trash while jogging. CJ Logistics plans to regularly hold plogging events to create a cleaner community.

A CJ Logistics official stated, “Volunteer activities that had been conducted non-face-to-face will be carried out face-to-face from the second half of this year while adhering to quarantine guidelines. We will strive to once again deliver warmth to those who have desperately needed helping hands due to the decrease in face-to-face volunteer activities.”
