SK Securities has earned the top 'AA' rating in the first-half 2026 ESG evaluation by Sustinvest, a domestic ESG (environmental, social and governance) rating agency.
SK Securities said Tuesday it received the AA rating in the first-half 2026 ESG evaluation, up one notch from the A rating in the previous assessment.
The evaluation comprehensively assessed all environmental, social and governance areas across a total of 1,305 companies, including domestic listed and unlisted firms. The AA rating is the highest grade awarded to companies with excellent management of ESG risks and opportunities.
SK Securities manages key sustainable management issues through an ESG committee under its board of directors. The company explained that its operation of a board-centered ESG governance system—including oversight of major risk factors through its audit committee, risk management committee and internal control committee—was reflected in this evaluation.
SK Securities also made the 'ESG Best Companies 100,' a list selected from companies with assets of 2 trillion won or more. The company said it practices responsible management by applying an ESG checklist in its investment review process, while advancing its human rights management system, establishing human rights guidelines for partner companies and strengthening financial consumer protection.
"This AA rating is the result of embedding ESG throughout our management and building a foundation for practical implementation," said Chung Jun-ho, CEO of SK Securities. "Going forward, based on our board-centered ESG governance, we will continue to work toward sustainable growth and enhanced corporate value as a responsible financial company."
