On the 25th, Huons announced on the 26th that it signed a business agreement to install a caf? staffed by disabled baristas within Huons Jecheon Plant 1 at Daha's Cheongam School in Heukseok-dong, Jecheon. Severely disabled individuals will be employed as baristas to secure stable jobs, and the profits generated from the caf? operations will be paid as salaries and allowances.

Through this agreement, Huons plans to provide stable jobs that enable severely disabled individuals to achieve economic independence by operating an in-house caf?. The rental fee and operating management costs for the caf? installation space will also be provided free of charge. Both parties will continue close cooperation to actively promote collaborative projects aimed at improving the quality of life and awareness of disabled persons.

At the business agreement ceremony, Huons also donated 30 million won in sponsorship funds to support the vocational rehabilitation and economic independence of severely disabled individuals.

Choi Jong-in, CEO of Daha, said, “We are pleased to provide stable jobs for severely disabled individuals through the operation of the in-house caf?,” adding, “Based on our years of experience operating caf?s, we will strive to stabilize operations and ensure the space is well utilized as a rest and welfare area for Huons employees.” Song Soo-young, CEO of Huons, also stated, “We will work together to provide stable jobs and improve awareness of disabled persons through the operation of the in-house caf?,” and added, “We will continue to make every effort to deeply support and show interest in the economic independence of disabled individuals.”
