Gyeonggi Province will conduct fair trade education for executives and employees of major domestic franchise headquarters, including CU.

On the 8th, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will provide on-site education on franchise transactions to the headquarters of Chaesundang and major domestic convenience stores (7-Eleven, Emart24, CU, GS25) over two days from the 9th to the 10th of this month. This education is designed to emphasize understanding of the Franchise Business Act and fair trade by franchise headquarters.

About 30 executives and employees from Chaesundang and each convenience store headquarters will attend the training held in Seoul.

The education will be conducted by dispute mediation investigators from the Gyeonggi Province Fair Trade Support Center, who will explain the Franchise Business Act, related regulations, and major rulings by the Fair Trade Commission, and provide lectures to prevent damages to franchise business operators.

Heo Seong-cheol, Director of the Fair Economy Division of Gyeonggi Province, emphasized, "We will actively promote fair trade-related education projects so that executives and employees of franchise headquarters comply with fair trade regulations and prevent unfair trade damages caused by intentional or unintentional acts of the franchise headquarters."

The Gyeonggi Province Fair Trade Support Center provides consultation and dispute mediation for small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners experiencing difficulties due to damages in all areas related to fair trade, including franchise business, agency, subcontracting, large-scale distribution, and general unfair practices.
