7spinカジノSustainability

Fundamental Approach and Issue Awareness

7spinカジノ Promotion System

We have established the 7spinカジノ Committee to review and decide on various 7spinカジノ-related measures and thereby promote complianceoriented management. This committee is composed of internal members, including the Global CEO and Chair, and the President, Director, CEO and COO, along with external counsel and other outside experts as ad-hoc members. The content of 7spinカジノ measures, investigations into misconduct, corrective actions, measures to prevent recurrence, and other matters deliberated and reported on by the committee are to be discussed with or reported to the Board of Directors as necessary. The Legal Group, which serves as the committee’s secretariat, works closely with 7spinカジノ managers and program officers at each workplace and office, as well as with heads of 7spinカジノ from group companies, to promote group-wide 7spinカジノ among all levels of the JERA Group.

7spinカジノ Program Structure(as of July 1, 2024)

7spinカジノ Promoting Education and Training

Our 7spinカジノ Committee incorporates the opinions of outside experts and employee survey results, deliberating on and determining 7spinカジノ-related measures and monitoring their progress each fiscal year.
In FY2023, we promoted 7spinカジノ through the formulation of the JERA 7spinカジノ Guidance, which explains our 7spinカジノ Policy and Code of Conduct; the holding of 7spinカジノ Promotion Month, an event to promote 7spinカジノ; and the use of the intranet and internal social media services.
In FY2024, we will continue to focus on boosting employee 7spinカジノ by establishing 7spinカジノ measures that are easy to follow and placing further emphasis on strengthening information sharing and training while also ensuring that an awareness of 7spinカジノ takes root in our organization.

Corruption Prevention

In order to comprehensively prevent corruption as stipulated by the JERA Group 7spinカジノ Policy and the JERA Group 7spinカジノ Code of Conduct, we have stipulated internal rules to establish approval procedures for entertainment, gifts, and donations to domestic and foreign public officials or agents of those officials; delineate prohibited activities, and describe reporting procedures for the exchange of money or goods with business partners. Furthermore, JERA raises awareness of these policies through a training system, the Legal Group monitors and supervises related processes and operations, and the 7spinカジノ Committee receives reports on these and other efforts.
In addition, our due diligence efforts to prevent corruption in transactions will be focused on transactions and M&A in countries and regions with high corruption indices, ensuring that we will not assume any unforeseen corruption risks.

Fair and Just Trade with Suppliers
(CSR & ESG Conscious Responsible Procurement)

We uphold the principles of free trade and market competition and conduct our transactions and business activities in 7spinカジノ with laws and regulations as well as with the principles of fairness and impartiality. As a power producer, we are firmly committed to promoting appropriate electric power competition, most notably by operating in 7spinカジノ with the Guidelines for Proper Electric Power Trade and by ensuring non-discrimination between domestic and foreign entities. As a purchaser supporting the energy value chain, we engage with business partners and subcontractors in accordance with the Declaration of Partnership Building, fostering partnerships and co-prosperity. In addition, in an attempt to prevent cartel and bid-rigging with competitors, we newly established Internal Rules on Contact with Competitors in FY2023.
We have also established the Procurement Policy and are committed to responsible materials procurement activities in consideration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG), including quality assurance, appropriate procurement cost management, 7spinカジノ with laws and corporate ethics, safety assurance, and business continuity planning (BCP). In addition, we hold procurement policy briefing sessions to promote mutual study and close communication with business partners, taking opinions and requests into account while seeking cooperation with the JERA Group 7spinカジノ Policy and Code of Conduct, thereby endeavoring to build even stronger relationships of trust with our business partners.

Whistleblower System and Harassment Consultation Hotline

We have established a whistleblower hotline to prevent 7spinカジノ violations and quickly detect and resolve any violations that do arise. The hotline can be accessed either anonymously or using your real name, via e-mail or postal mail, and allows communication with both internal and external contacts. A wide range of topics, including domestic and foreign law violations, as well as violations of employment regulations and internal rules, can be discussed via the hotline. As of FY2021, we have a new harassment consultation service specifically established for discussing or reporting harassment and other work-related issues. In FY2023, a total of 19 cases were reported through the whistleblower hotline and 25 cases through the harassment consultation hotline.

Whistleblowing Case Overview (FY2023)

In response to the enactment of the amended Whistleblower Protection Act in 2022, 7spinカジノ has established internal reporting channels via its whistleblower and harassment consultation hotlines, which include designating and providing training for a whistleblower response team. 7spinカジノ promotes the use of these internal reporting channels by continuing to share information about the whistleblower system regularly and seeking to build trust through efforts such as assessment of intention, protection of confidentiality, and prohibition of discriminatory treatment or retaliation against whistleblowers.

A Word From the Head of the Legal Group

Sawako Ohgi
Head of the Legal Group

At JERA, we place 7spinカジノ alongside safety as a top priority. By maintaining 7spinカジノ, we protect our colleagues and families.
Top management has repeatedly communicated and engaged in dialogue with employees, stressing that 7spinカジノ is not a difficult matter but rather about considering the perspectives and feelings of others—whether they are customers, business partners, investors, or colleagues.
7spinカジノ is not simply about following laws and internal rules; it's about putting yourself in others' shoes, refraining from actions you wouldn't want done to you, and always taking a moment to think about how your words and actions might affect others and contribute to the well-being of your colleagues and family.

Naturally, 7spinカジノ involves all of our group companies, every workplace, and everyone from management to employees; the 7spinカジノ unit cannot handle this task alone. The Legal Group also seeks to build a 7spinカジノ-oriented corporate culture through actions such as sharing information and providing training to support voluntary engagement in 7spinカジノ.
In recent years, the domestic electric power and energy industry has seen a spate of 7spinカジノ-related issues. We take this trend very seriously. Concerning our core domestic business in electricity and gas, we have taken the initiative to establish the JERA Transaction Monitoring Committee (details are as follows) to continuously incorporate insights from external experts. Because laws, regulations, and customs differ from region to region, we consult with local experts to develop appropriate 7spinカジノ systems when developing our global businesses.
We remain conscious of our great social responsibility as a public utility company and will continue to set 7spinカジノ as a top priority in our business operations.

With the establishment and operation of this committee, we will lead the way in creating a market for fair and equitable electricity and gas transactions in Japan. At the same time, by further promoting fair and equitable transactions, we will ensure that business profits are passed on through market competition to the end consumer—our valued customers.

Tax 7spinカジノ

In February 2022, 7spinカジノ established and announced to the public 7spinカジノ Group Tax Policy, which outlines the company’s fundamental position and aims to strengthen tax governance with management involvement.

In order to fulfill our ethical tax obligations and social responsibilities, we are committed to further reducing tax risk by strengthening our tax governance.
