Mirae Asset Daewoo has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) for eight consecutive years, a notable feat for a Korean brokerage, the securities firm said Wednesday.
Created jointly by S&P Dow Jones Indices and RobecoSAM, the DJSI selects the most sustainable companies from across 61 industries every year.
The indices serve as benchmarks for investors who integrate sustainability considerations into their portfolios, and provide an effective engagement platform for investors who wish to encourage companies to improve their corporate sustainability practices, according to the DJSI website.
For this year's review, top-market cap, 2,526 listed companies from around the world were reviewed.
Mirae Asset Daewoo was one of the 318 firms included in the indices. Nineteen Korean firms were included.
"We are happy that we were recognized for our investment practice that prioritizes sustainability as part of long-term efforts to boost shareholder value. We will continue to boost efforts for corporate responsibility that help corporate value," a Mirae Asset Daewoo official said.
