Creating jobs for the Disabled :
Courier with Developmental Disabilities
With CSV as a foundation, CJ Logistics is striving to create social value and develop as one with society. As part of these activities, we have been operating a parcel delivery service, involving people with developmental disabilities since 2015. Delivery couriers with developmental disabilities are similar to silver couriers. When a courier vehicle loads parcels to the base located in a job center, the courier separates the boxes and delivers them to the destination. Moving forwards, CJ Logistics will explore sustainable business models for mutual growth and development, creating jobs for the disabled and helping them lead independent lives.
