Since 2007, we have been supporting and sponsoring a professional table tennis team to promote the balanced development of sports and broaden the base of sporting participation in Korea. We are committed to fostering talented young athletes who will lead Koreas table tennis community into the future.
Tornado: A Fresh Wind Blowing into
the Table Tennis Community
Greetings to all table tennis enthusiasts,
Tornado, the professional table tennis team of Mirae Asset Securities, was
launched in 2007 to bring a fresh gust of energy to the table tennis
community and further promote the sport.
Since then, Tornado has achieved a great deal thanks to the strong
support of its many fans.
Building on its tradition and legacy, Tornado will continue on its journey
for decades to come.
We enhance the environmental awareness of our employees through company-wide environmental management, while also endeavoring to fulfill our environmental impact to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy consumption, and waste generation by encouraging employees to participate in various environmental campaigns and initiatives that support sustainable development. Specifically, we measure Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and systematically manage GHG emission, waste generation, and energy consumption data across the organization. We also report our climate change responses to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) as part of our active participation in global efforts to address climate change. Moreover, we are strongly committed to expanding carbon reduction finance to contribute to Koreas goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. To this end, we have set a sustainable finance goal of KRW 45 trillion by 2025.
Energy consumption
intensity
GHG emission
intensity
We have been reducing unnecessary energy usage and implementing continuous controls to efficiently reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions. Given the nature of the financial industry, there are almost zero direct GHG emissions caused by energy sources directly owned or managed by Mirae Asset Securities.
We, therefore, focus on controlling Scope 2 (indirect) emissions generated from our owned and leased properties.
Water consumption intensity
We have a control system in place for wastewater and rainwater treatment. To minimize its environmental impact, the Mirae Asset Center One Building has its own facility to treat wastewater for reuse in toilet flushing and landscape irrigation. In addition, we voluntarily account for and control Scope 3 emissions generated by indirect emission activities such as business travel, paper use, and waste disposal.
