The CDP is a leading assessment agency used by global financial institutions and investors to evaluate companies' climate change response capabilities. It comprehensively assesses submitted climate strategies, emissions management, and climate risk response levels. The results are used as a key indicator in capital markets to determine a company's level of sustainable management.

Mirae Asset Securities' achievement of such a high rating signifies international recognition of its proactive analysis and management of climate risks embedded in its assets, based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), as well as its commitment to green finance for a low-carbon economy and its long-term efforts to strengthen board-level oversight and execution capabilities.

Since 2008, Mirae Asset Securities has systematically managed its energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, consistently improving the reliability of its environmental data. This information has been transparently disclosed through its sustainability reports, and since 2010, the company has further strengthened its climate information management system by responding to the CDP.

In addition, by faithfully implementing the RE100 initiative declared in 2021, the company has significantly improved its environmental management performance. Mirae Asset Securities strategically utilized various procurement methods, such as Renewable Energy Certificates (REC), Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPA), and participation in green premium auctions, to convert 100% of its electricity consumption to renewable energy.

A representative from Mirae Asset Securities stated, "We will continue to strengthen our management efforts to proactively respond to increasing fluctuations in investment asset value and risks due to climate change," adding, "We are committed to practicing sustainable management with high ethical standards and responsibility, and will do our best to enhance both customer and corporate value."
