Environmental Action Report 2003

TohokuEPCO has introduced a company-wide Environmental Management System (EMS) based on ISO 14001 since April 2000, in order to contribute to both environmental protection and business profitability. EMS is an essential tool in the development of a comprehensive plan of action, implementation, periodic review, and upgrading.

TohokuEPCO has established task forces to deal with environmental issues since March 1990.

TohokuEPCO has clearly defined its lines of accountability. The vice president and general managers are responsible for environmental management (EM) at the company and department / office levels, respectively. In addition, EM managers and Eco-leaders are promoting activities at individual offices.
At all of our thermal and nuclear power stations, ISO14001-based EMSs have been implemented.
