Providing Essential Winter Supplies for Safe Driving

Coupang Eats Service (CES) announced on November 25 that it has donated cold weather supplies to the Korea Platform Freelancer Labor Mutual Aid Association to support safe driving for its delivery partners during the winter season.

This donation was organized to help delivery partners work safely and comfortably despite the colder weather. The donated items include winter gloves designed specifically for delivery partners, balaclavas, and insulated overshoes-items that provide practical assistance for winter operations.

The cold weather supplies will be distributed to delivery partners throughout December via the Mutual Aid Association’s “Supplies Delivery and Snack Truck Campaign.” The campaign will be held in three locations: the Yeouido Federation of Trade Unions Building (December 2), the Suwon Mobile Workers’ Rest Area (December 4), and the Goyang Lafesta Mobile Workers’ Rest Area (December 10). Any delivery partner who visits these sites can receive the supplies. In addition, the Mutual Aid Association plans to deliver some of the donated items to the Yongin Platform Cooperative to support delivery partners in the Yongin area as well.

Coupang Eats is also providing various forms of support, such as thorough preventive maintenance and management, to ensure the safe operation of two-wheeled vehicles during the winter, when extra caution is needed due to snow and icy roads. Since September, the company has been conducting free safety inspections and consumable replacement events in 16 major cities nationwide, including the Seoul metropolitan area, Cheongju, Jeonju, Daegu, and Changwon. The main inspection items include braking systems, tires, lighting equipment, and steering systems.

A Coupang Eats Service representative stated, "We have prepared cold weather supplies that can be immediately used to support the safe winter driving of our delivery partners in the field," adding, "We will continue to work with various organizations to provide practical support that truly benefits our delivery partners."
