Fulfilling our responsibilities and meeting society's expectations

Chubu Electric Power Group, as a Multi-Energy Services Group, is committed to:
Contributing to the development of a sustainable society by giving top priority to safety and striving to both provide a stable supply of energy and protect the global environment.

Corporate Governance

The company has adopted a structure with an Audit and Supervisory Committee to enable the transfer of authority from the Board of Directors to Directors, make faster and more efficient decisions, strengthen the supervisory function of the Board of Directors by granting voting rights on the Board of Directors to Directors who are members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee and further enhance corporate governance.

The company has also adopted an executive officer system in order to separate management decision-making and supervision from execution, and to expedite business execution. Also, to strengthen management supervisory functions, six of our thirteen directors are outside directors.
Moreover, in order to ensure the effectiveness of audits, the Audit and Supervisory Committee, Internal Audit Department and the accounting auditors maintain close coordination with each other.
We believe that this current system has fully secured the fairness and transparency of management.

a. Board of Directors

In principle, the Board of Directors meets once a month to decide important management matters, including medium- to long-term management strategies, the nomination and compensation of directors and important transaction with our parent company, etc. and to supervise the execution of duties by directors. In addition, to strengthen supervisory functions, six of our thirteen directors are outside directors.

Moreover, in order to strengthen the objectivity and transparency of procedures related to the nomination of directors, compensation, etc., we have established a Nomination and Compensation Committee as an optional advisory body of the Board of Directors. In response to inquiries from the Board of Directors, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee deliberates on matters such as the nomination of candidates for director and corporate auditor, the selection and removal of the Representative Director, and compensation for directors (excluding directors who are members of the Audit and Supervisory Committee), and reports thereon to the Board of Directors.
