BANGKOK – October 10, 2023: Mitsubishi Motors (Thailand) Co., Ltd. continues its ‘Disabled Employment Project’ for five years consecutively to empower the disabled with job opportunities and careers to enhance their quality of life with stable income. Since its inception, the project has provided meaningful employment to over 420 persons with disabilities, allowing them to enhance their quality of life and contribute positively to society. The project is a part of the company’s corporate social responsibility vision ‘To Contribute and Grow with Thai Society’.
The ‘Disabled Employment Project’ has been initiated by Mitsubishi Motors Thailand, in collaboration with the Provincial Employment Office and the Social Innovation Foundation. In 2023, the project supported 62 persons with disabilities. Within this group, 52 individuals were employed by Mitsubishi Motors Thailand while 10 were employed by MMTh Engine who have been assisted in securing suitable positions within various government organizations throughout the country in Chiang Rai, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Khon Kaen, and Chonburi.

We believe the opportunity is the key and hope that the project will also change the attitude of people towards persons with disabilities, as they also have ability to work and contribute just like others.”
