Homeplus Online announced on the 28th that it will hold a 'Senior Market Special Exhibition' in collaboration with the Korea Senior Human Resources Development Institute under the Ministry of Health and Welfare in celebration of Family Month.

At this event, over 200 types of senior-produced products, including various foods such as sesame oil, bakery products, seafood, as well as daily necessities like soap and handicrafts, will be sold. Up to 50% discounts and free shipping benefits will be offered until the products are sold out.

Homeplus has been working to revitalize the sales of senior-produced products by easing the online store entry screening process and lowering fees to contribute to the local community and provide jobs for seniors. Saejae Sesame Oil, operated by the Mungyeong Senior Club, saw its sales in November last year increase sevenfold compared to the same month the previous year after joining the platform.

A Homeplus official stated, “We will practice ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management by utilizing our infrastructure to help overcome the limitations of senior-produced products that do not have their own online malls and by creating enjoyable jobs for the independence of the elderly.”
