Mirae Asset Securities announced on Thursday that it has been included in the DJBIC (Dow Jones Best-in-Class) World Index for the 14th consecutive year, reaffirming its position as one of the world's leading companies in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management.
The DJBIC World Index, formerly known as the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World), is compiled by S&P Global and evaluates approximately 2,500 of the world's largest listed companies based on market capitalization. Only the top 10% of companies within each industry are selected after a comprehensive assessment of their ESG performance.
Mirae Asset Securities received strong evaluations across a range of categories, including transparent corporate disclosure, climate strategy, financed emissions management, customer relations, information security, and integrated risk management. The company’s ability to combine sustainable business practices with long-term corporate governance initiatives was recognized as a key strength in the assessment process.
A notable achievement highlighted in this year's evaluation was the company's successful completion of its RE100 commitment in 2025. Mirae Asset Securities transitioned 100% of the electricity used across all of its business operations to renewable energy, becoming one of the leading financial institutions in Korea to achieve the milestone.
The company adopted a diversified renewable energy procurement strategy, utilizing Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs), and Korea’s Green Premium program to secure clean electricity supplies. The achievement reflects the firm's broader efforts to reduce its environmental footprint while supporting the transition toward a low-carbon economy.
In recent years, global investors have increasingly incorporated ESG performance into investment decisions, making sustainability rankings an important indicator of corporate competitiveness. Inclusion in the DJBIC World Index is widely viewed as recognition of a company's commitment to responsible business practices, long-term value creation, and effective management of environmental and social risks.
Mirae Asset Securities has continued to strengthen its sustainability framework alongside its strategic transformation into a global investment platform. The company has expanded its international business network, enhanced digital financial services, and increased investments in sustainable finance initiatives while integrating ESG principles into its overall management strategy.
A company representative said Mirae Asset Securities will continue accelerating its evolution into a global investment platform while further reinforcing its sustainability management system.
“We will continue strengthening our ESG framework and creating long-term value for customers and shareholders while pursuing sustainable growth in the global financial market,” the representative said.
The latest recognition underscores Mirae Asset Securities’ consistent commitment to sustainability and positions the company among a select group of global financial institutions recognized for excellence in ESG management.
