Mirae Asset Securities announced on the 11th that it has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World Index), which is awarded to top global companies in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG), for 12 consecutive years.
Published annually by S&P Global, this index targets companies ranked in the top 10% among 2,500 global companies based on free-float market capitalization.

S&P Global highly evaluated Mirae Asset Securities' actions and plans to address climate change.
