Established in 2003, CDP is the only global environmental and climate impact assessment organization headquartered in the UK, highly regarded for its credibility. More than 23,200 companies worldwide disclose their greenhouse gas emissions, risks and opportunities related to climate change, and carbon management strategies through CDP. The evaluation results are also used as data for responsible investment by domestic and international pension funds and asset management companies.

CDP evaluates companies' environmental activity levels in four stages: Leadership (A·A-), Management (B·B-), Awareness (C·C-), and Disclosure (D·D-). Mirae Asset Securities received the Leadership A grade for the first time in the securities industry in the 2024 evaluation.

It secured the Leadership grade A by receiving high evaluations in the climate change response sector for RE100 renewable energy transition, sustainable management implementation through Financed Emission management, and governance, strategy, risk management, and carbon emission reduction targets.

A representative of Mirae Asset Securities said, "The importance of analyzing the impact of climate change on investment asset value and establishing response strategies is rapidly increasing," adding, "Mirae Asset Securities has been actively participating in climate-related initiatives such as the RE100 declaration and the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) verification, steadily establishing a climate change response system."
