In August 2019, Hepco signed on as a supporter of Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures(TCFD*).
Hepco disclosed information based upon TCFD in the Hepco Group Report 2023 (pp.53 to 55).
*TCFD is a working group created by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) whose members include central banks, financial regulatory authorities, and other entities of major nations. In June 2017, TCFD presented its recommendations for financial disclosure along with a framework for voluntarily disclosing information that will enable financial institutions and other such entities to appropriately assess the risks of climate change and other factors on companies.

industry-specific standards(ELECTRIC UTILITIES & POWER GENERATORS).

*SASB is an U.S.-based non-profit organisation attempting to establish industry-specific standards that help public corporations disclose material and decision-useful information to investors.
Responding to CDP questionnaire
We responded to CDP* questionnaire regarding climate change and we obtained "B" rating in Climate Change 2023.
"B" rating is regarded as a Management level against climate change issues and that means we understand the main risks and impacts of climate change and are taking action to adopt to and reduce these effects.
*CDP is a not-for-profit organization that runs the global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, and regions to manage environmental impacts.
