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. In the financial services sector (Diversified Financial Services and Capital Markets), which includes Mirae Asset Securities, a total of 17 global companies were included.


S&P Global highly evaluated Mirae Asset Securities' actions and plans to address climate change. For the purpose of fulfilling RE100 commitments, Mirae Asset Securities signed the financial sector's first long-term purchase agreement for Renewable Energy Certificates (REC) and a Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) for solar power this year. Last month, it completed verification for the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).


Additionally, the company continues various social contribution activities themed around environmental campaigns and support for marginalized groups. Through a mid- to long-term policy of 'shareholder return ratio of 30% or more,' it is also striving to enhance shareholder value.



A representative from Mirae Asset Securities stated, "Mirae Asset Securities has faithfully carried out responsibility, transparency, and ethical management according to the group's core values," adding, "We will continue to make steady efforts to provide high trust to customers and stakeholders as an investment specialist company and to achieve sustainable growth."
