Mirae Asset Daewoo received an award at the 2019 DJSI International Conference last week for appearing on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for an eighth consecutive year, the company said Monday.
The Dow Jones Sustainability Indices, created in 1999 jointly by S&P Dow Jones and Robeco SAM, acknowledge the most sustainable companies across 61 industries in consideration of economic, environmental and social criteria.

The DJSI serve as best-in-class benchmarks for investors, providing information about companies’ sustainable business practices as reflected in their investment portfolios.
The indices include the world index, which evaluates the world’s top 2,526 companies, the Asia Pacific index for the region’s top 600 companies and the Korea index for the country’s top 200. Mirae Asset was one of 19 Korean companies on the world index.
“We are proud to have our sustainable management efforts including corporate social responsibility, corporate governance and responsible investment recognized (by a) globally renowned organization,” said a Mirae Asset Daewoo official.
