Aegis Asset Management's Seuw Building 13th Floor Achieves 'LEED Gold' Certification

Directly Leased Space Is the First Case... Company Building 2nd Floor Also Aims for LEED Certification

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] Aegis Asset Management announced on the 28th that it remodeled the 13th floor of its headquarters, the Yeouido Sewoo Building, and obtained the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system. It evaluates buildings from various perspectives such as energy and resource savings, preservation of the natural environment, and providing a comfortable environment for users. LEED certification levels are ranked from Platinum, Gold, Silver, to Certification.

Aegis Asset Management is remodeling its headquarters to provide employees with a comfortable and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) compliant work environment. The 13th floor, remodeled last September, features an in-house caf? and a hotel-style lounge where employees can interact and collaborate.

In particular, the 13th floor applied eco-friendly interior design and obtained the LEED Gold certification in the ‘Interior Design and Construction’ (ID+C) category. It received high scores in evaluation factors such as water use reduction and energy performance improvement. The ‘ID+C’ certification is awarded when tenants create environmentally friendly leased spaces.

This is the first time that a space directly leased and used by Aegis Asset Management has received LEED certification. There are 12 cases where assets managed by Aegis Asset Management funds have received LEED certification.

Lee Gyu-sung, Head of the Management Support Division, said, "Aegis Asset Management has established the ESG principle that ‘action takes precedence over declaration’," and added, "We are also planning to obtain LEED certification for the 2nd floor of the Sewoo Building, which is currently being remodeled for leased use."
