Mirae Asset Securities announced on the 15th that the 'Mirae Asset Securities Table Tennis Team' will hold table tennis training and exchange events with Paralympic athletes.

This event was planned in collaboration with the Korea Para Table Tennis Association and will proceed in the order of a table tennis talk by Coach Kim Taeksu, table tennis practice, and gift presentation. The Mirae Asset Securities Table Tennis Team plans to enhance the performance of both teams and strengthen social partnerships through exchanges with the Paralympic table tennis team.

The Mirae Asset Securities Table Tennis Team is also leading efforts to expand the base of elite sports into grassroots sports. In June, it sponsored 100 million won for the 'National Division League,' a two-player team league with 11,849 teams and 35,520 participants, organized by the Korea Table Tennis Association. The Division League is a platform that incorporates an advanced country-style sports club system to establish a player development system based on grassroots sports with excellent skills. In addition, talent donation is steadily ongoing through mini-games and one-point lessons with participants from corporate teams and Division League competitions.

Kim Taeksu, coach of the Mirae Asset Securities Table Tennis Team, said, “The Mirae Asset Securities Table Tennis Team, which has received much love, is conducting sports ESG activities to give back to society,” adding, “Just as the parent company Mirae Asset Securities leads ESG management in the financial investment industry, the Mirae Asset Securities Table Tennis Team will also take the lead in sports ESG activities.”

Mirae Asset Securities will continue to faithfully fulfill its role as a responsible professional investment company considering society and the environment, based on its ESG management mission of ‘clearly recognizing social responsibility and roles and pioneering a sustainable future through finance.’
