CJ CheilJedang runs a project called 'Happy Companion', a shared-growth platform that explores competitive SME suppliers. It supports SME suppliers with funds, capacity and sales channels, and provides opportunities for sustainable growth, thereby creating a healthy food industry ecosystem in Korea. To create shared values, CJ CheilJedang grants SME suppliers opportunities for growth while strengthening its product portfolio and sales. Mijung produces noodles and rice cakes and has achieved growth through the 'Happy Companion' platform. The company pioneered a new market beyond the existing one for low-priced rice cake products and built competitiveness to produce sauces with its own capacity, ensuring its market share and new revenue sources. As a successful win-win model between an SME and a large company, the platform is expanding by supporting the branding project for suppliers. In addition to supporting SME suppliers for their sales increase, CJ CheilJedang also contributes to local communities by creating quality jobs through the Naeil Chaeum(Brighter Future) Mutual Aid Program*).
