On the 23rd, Shinsegae International announced that it conducted industrial safety prevention activities for small-scale partner companies on the 22nd. The company installed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) free of charge at a total of seven partner companies, including the social enterprise ‘Donggubat,’ which employs people with developmental disabilities to produce eco-friendly soap. Additionally, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training was provided to partner company employees to enable quick response on-site in case of emergencies. AEDs are critical equipment that can save lives by responding promptly to emergencies such as cardiac arrest, and the number of facilities required to install them has recently increased.

This activity was carried out to help create a safe working environment and improve productivity for partner companies. Moving forward, follow-up activities to support industrial safety management and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) consulting will continue. The ESG consulting aims to improve awareness and strengthen capabilities in ESG management among partner companies, and this year, consulting was provided to about 20 companies.

In addition, in July this year, Shinsegae International signed an ‘Autonomous Agreement to Resolve Polarization’ together with the Win-Win Growth Committee and partner companies, establishing a win-win cooperation program worth a total of 28.3 billion KRW. Over the next three years, a polarization resolution win-win cooperation model tailored to industry characteristics will be introduced to promote sustainable management support, productivity improvement for partner SMEs, profit sharing, and the establishment of a win-win growth fund. Furthermore, during transactions such as subcontracting, consignment, delivery, and services, the company is implementing the ‘Three Principles of Proper Payment’: paying the right price, paying on time, and paying in cash.

A Shinsegae International representative stated, “We are striving to build a sustainable virtuous industrial ecosystem by strengthening the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises,” and added, “We will operate programs that provide practical help to partner companies so that we can share profits and grow together.”
