The TEPCO Group contributes to creating a sustainable society by setting forth principles of environmental conservation activities in the TEPCO Group Basic Environmental Philosophy and promoting environmental activities appropriate to the respective business operations of each Group company, under the awareness that the Group has the social responsibility to give serious thought to issues of environmental importance such as global warming and biodiversity conservation.

Relationship between business activities and the environment

The electricity business forms the core of the TEPCO Group, and involves the input of diverse resources to generate power and produce electricity, and the output of environmental loads and waste. To minimize the consumption of resources and environmental burden, we are striving to increase power generation efficiency, promote waste recycling, and reduce air pollutants. We are also making active efforts to protect, conserve and create nature environments around our power plants and in Oze, so that we may pass down a rich and diverse natural legacy to the next generation.
