CJ Logistics establishes para sports team to boost social participation among people with disabilities
21 athletes recruited to compete in national and international competitions under the CJ Logistics banner
CJ Logistics has officially launched a para sports team, aiming to encourage broader social participation for people with disabilities through sports.
The company announced on July 6 that it had signed a partnership agreement with the Seoul Disabled Sports Association on July 3 to promote the development of para sports. On the same day, CJ Logistics held an inauguration ceremony for its new para sports team.
A total of 21 athletes with disabilities have now been selected to represent CJ Logistics across 10 sporting disciplines: deaf football, goalball, wheelchair rugby, cycling, snowboarding, billiards, shooting, alpine skiing, blind football, and basketball. These athletes will go on to represent CJ Logistics at both the National Para Sports Festival and on international stages.
In a bid to support its athletes, CJ Logistics will recognize training as work hours and provide accompanying salary support, allowing athletes to focus fully on their training and competitions.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, national snowboarder Jung Su-min said, “Wearing the CJ Logistics uniform, I truly feel a sense of belonging as an employee. I am determined to train with pride and deliver satisfying results.”
Yoon Jin, head of the Korea business division at CJ Logistics, stated, “It is a company’s duty to support everyone in pursuing their dreams. Based on our responsibility as a logistics company, we will expand our activities to realize greater social value.”
