Kansai Electric Power Company (KEPCO) is a publicly listed electric utility headquartered in Osaka, Japan. The company has 164 plants with a total production capacity of 35,760 megawatts (MW). KEPCO serves around 13 million people with electricity, making it one of the largest in Japan.
Summary
KEPCO discloses information on certain topics related to urban sustainability but is lacking disclosure on many important topics. The company discloses its material sustainability topics, but it can improve its sustainability governance by assigning clear responsibility for the oversight and implementation of its sustainability strategy, and by disclosing its process for effective stakeholder engagement.
KEPCO reports regularly on its environmental impacts, including air pollution, scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions, waste production and water consumption. It also demonstrates improvement in water quality and energy efficiency over the last three years. However, many of these metrics do not cover all its operations, making it difficult to gauge the company’s full impacts in these areas.
KEPCO discloses a general commitment to respect human rights, but it can strengthen its policies to respect the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) core labour rights as well as worker’s rights, such as health and safety and living wages. The company can also report on the affordability of its services and how it ensures access to energy for low-income households in the locations where it operates.
