[Financial News] Marking its 60th anniversary, Sempio Foods Company is establishing the nonprofit corporation Sempio Our Taste Cultural Foundation and setting out to globalize Korean cuisine.
On the 15th, Sempio Foods Company said that CEO Jin-Sun Park had established the nonprofit corporation Sempio Our Taste Cultural Foundation. The foundation was set up to systematically pursue public-interest activities that carry the value of Korean food culture forward to the next generation and the world.
The foundation plans to undertake a range of public-interest projects focused on spreading a culture of enjoying cooking, researching Korean flavors and fermented-food culture, and sustainably globalizing Korean cuisine.
It will propose a range of cooking solutions to help everyone, from young children to adults, cook easily and enjoyably and regularly prepare home-cooked meals. It will also work to spread a joyful cooking culture by running campaigns and classes where people can experience the pleasure of cooking.
The foundation will also strengthen research and education so that the values embodied in Korean flavors can be passed down through the generations as part of a shared culture. In addition, it will carry out various initiatives to support the sustainable globalization of Korean cuisine, including recipe training for use at Korean restaurants overseas.
A foundation official said, "We will share with society the research into Korean flavors and experience in food culture that we have built up over the years, and work to spread a joyful cooking culture."
