Environmental Management

Acquisition of ISO14001 Certification

In order to realize the Company's environmental policy, EMS (Environmental Management System) is an essential tool for the development of a comprehensive plan of action, implementation, periodic review, and upgrading. TohokuEPCO has obtained ISO14001 certifications at all thermal and nuclear power stations (a total of nine stations) and has introduced company-wide EMS since April 2000.


Collaboration with the Corporate Group

We have carried out environmental activities extensively through close collaboration with affiliated companies. In addition, we have established an environmental policy, an environmental committee, and in May 2004, an environmental action plan which relate to the corporate group.


Internal Environmental Audits

The audit office conducted 36 internal environmental audits in FY2003 and their remarks and suggestions were reported to executives.


Environmental Education

TohokuEPCO is providing an environmental education program designed to enhance the degree of environmental awareness among its employees. In FY2003, we provided an environmental education course called "Eco Clip" for 12,000 employees. "Eco Clip" provided information on environmental issues and helped employees recognize what they can do for the environment. Moreover, we encourage our employees to obtain licenses respecting environmental protection.
