Mirae Asset Securities announced on the 30th that it was the only domestic securities company to receive an A grade (based on scale grade) in the first half of 2023 evaluation conducted by Sustainvest, a domestic environment, social, and governance (ESG) rating agency.
Mirae Asset Securities has been publishing sustainability management reports since 2006. Recently, it has been carrying out mid- to long-term strategies and detailed tasks in the areas of environment, society, and governance, including publishing integrated reports that reflect ESG management performance.
Mirae Asset Securities established a 2040 science-based carbon neutrality goal along with financial emissions accounting based on the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF). In addition, to achieve 100% renewable energy (RE100) by 2025, it signed the industry's first long-term REC purchase agreement in February.
Furthermore, it conducts community environmental cleanup campaigns and financial education for underprivileged groups. To advance the capital market, it improved the dividend procedure so that investment decisions can be made after the dividend decision and amount are finalized. This is a shareholder-friendly policy that meets global standards and is scheduled to be applied from the 2024 dividend (2023 settlement).
A representative of Mirae Asset Securities stated, "We will continue to provide sustainable finance to pioneer a sustainable future through investment and management," adding, "In particular, we plan to faithfully practice responsible, transparent, and ethical management."
