[Alpha Biz= Reporter Kim Jisun] CJ Foodville announced on the 19th that it has been awarded an 'A-' credit rating by Korea Ratings (Korea Credit Ratings).
This marks a significant improvement for CJ Foodville, as it upgrades from a 'BBB-' rating in 2021, continuing its positive credit rating trajectory over the past three years.

Strengthened capital and reduced borrowings, resulting in an improved financial structure.
The strong market position of its core brands.
