Coupang Eats Service Provides 130,000 Iced Coffees for Delivery Partners During Heatwave

Providing Bottled Water, Ion Drinks, and Glucose Candy at 28 Rest Areas Nationwide

Coupang Eats Service announced on July 22 that, in response to the summer heat, it has provided iced coffee, bottled water and ion drinks, and summer safety supplies to ensure a safe delivery environment for its delivery partners.

First, on this day, the company is distributing approximately 130,000 iced coffee coupons nationwide so that delivery partners can cool off during the heatwave. The iced coffee coupons are provided to delivery partners who meet certain delivery activity criteria.

In addition, in cooperation with local governments across the country, safety supplies that can be used immediately in the scorching heat?such as bottled water, ion drinks, glucose candy, cool masks, and neck coolers?are being supplied to 28 rest areas. These rest area supports include not only the Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon metropolitan areas, but also regional cities such as Changwon and Gimhae. Any delivery partner can freely visit these rest areas and use the provided supplies at no cost.

Coupang Eats Service is focusing on implementing practical support measures to strengthen the safety and health of its delivery partners. Since 2022, the company has provided a cumulative total of about 1.66 million bottled water coupons to help relieve thirst during heatwaves. To prevent safety accidents in advance during periods of extreme heat and heavy rain, a "free safety inspection and consumable replacement event" was held in 13 regions nationwide from April to June this year. The company also continuously provides guidance on "summer heavy rain and heatwave safety rules" and major weather conditions through the delivery partner app, so that delivery partners can pay special attention while operating during the summer.

A Coupang Eats Service representative stated, "Even during the peak summer heat, we will continue to implement practical safety support measures and make multifaceted efforts so that our delivery partners can operate in a safer delivery environment."
