To enhance corporate value and create social value, we have established three committees, each chaired by the President. Each committee evaluates and analyzes risks and opportunities related to our business operations. The findings are utilized in resolutions—including decisions on key management issues—and are submitted to and reported to the Board of Directors.

Risk Management Committee

The TEPCO Group has established a risk management framework led by the President and Representative Executive Officer, who holds overall responsibility, and the Chief Risk Officer (CRO), who oversees risk operations and management. We have set up and operate a "Risk Management Committee" that deliberates on responses to risks that could significantly impact management—both under normal circumstances and when risks materialize.
Under the Risk Management Committee, we have established six specialized subcommittees. Each subcommittee is chaired by an appointed responsible officer and conducts focused deliberations on issues and risks within its respective area of expertise.

Examples of Past Achievements

Important Risks Response
Stable Supply during the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games For the stable supply of electricity during the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games (held July–September 2021), each subcommittee discussed and implemented measures, including operational arrangements during the Games and plans for drills simulating disasters, accidents, cyberattacks, and terrorism. These efforts successfully contributed to maintaining a stable electricity supply throughout the Games.

Future Management Committee

In FY2022, the Carbon Neutral Challenge Task Force, a specialized subcommittee under the Future Management Committee, held 16 discussions on the functions and organizational structures required to achieve both long-term stable supply and carbon neutrality.

Achievements to Date (Carbon Neutral Challenge Task Force)

Examples of Discussion Themes
  • Quantitatively outlined multiple scenarios for achieving carbon neutrality across Japan by 2050, and discussed the vision for energy use in a carbon-neutral society, pathways to achieve it, and differences among scenarios.
  • Examined domestic and international renewable energy development, potential hydrogen business opportunities, and grid configurations—including distributed grids—based on specific case studies.
Achievements On April 28, 2022, we announced “Business Structure Reforms to Achieve Both Long-Term Stable Supply and Carbon Neutrality,” outlining a clear direction to focus on a new business model centered on locally-produced/locally-consumed equipment services, and to promote alliances and structural reforms to achieve this goal.
Future Initiatives In addition to our existing electric power business, we will position locally-produced/locally-consumed businesses—such as solar power and storage batteries—along with equipment services and aggregation, as the pillars of our future operations. We will also examine the functions and organizational structures required for business expansion across the entire Group.

ESG Committee

The ESG Committee deliberates on overall policies for addressing ESG issues, selecting key ESG items in management strategy, and establishing response policies related to information disclosure.
Most recently, the committee discussed ESG management strategies and climate change countermeasures based on the latest ESG trends.

Achievements to Date

ESG Management Strategy Themes
  • Provided information on the latest ESG trends, including biodiversity, circular economy, human capital, and the development of sustainability-related disclosure standards.
Key Comments
  • For carbon neutrality, which is a medium- to long-term goal, continue to develop business scenarios and plans that contribute to corporate growth. For other themes, focus on understanding and sharing ESG trend information, assessing developments, and taking appropriate action.
Climate Change Countermeasures Themes
  • Development of internal mechanisms for achieving carbon neutrality (Scope 3 compliance, internal carbon pricing).
Key Comments
  • Begin trials with group companies to visualize and reduce Scope 3 CO2emissions, including those in the supply chain.
  • Assess the impact of internal carbon pricing on each business with a view to applying it to future investment decisions.
