This is the thirteenth report since publishing the first sustainability management report among domestic securities firms in 2006, and it has been issued annually in the form of an Integrated Report since 2018.

Mirae Asset Securities disclosed its proactive implementation status toward achieving RE100 (a campaign to source 100% of corporate electricity consumption from renewable energy) through the TCFD report, including being the first in the domestic financial sector to sign Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) and Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA) contracts. Additionally, after receiving approval for greenhouse gas reduction targets from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the company outlined plans to specify carbon reduction goals for its investment asset portfolio and transition to low-carbon and eco-friendly assets.
In the social domain, the report details various activities conducted to enhance financial accessibility through digital means and protect the rights and interests of financial consumers, including support for artists with developmental disabilities and social contribution activities such as donations of goods and PCs.
