Kansai Electric Power gifts and entertainment prohibition provisions to apply from next week December 9th 20:33
Due to the problem that executives of Kansai Electric Power received large amounts of money, the company has announced that it will apply from the 16th of next week by compiling rules that employees should not accept gifts and entertainment in principle.
At Kansai Electric Power, executives and other executives received over 300 million yen in total from a former assistant in Takahama-cho, Fukui Prefecture. In September, the presidents were forced to resign.
Kansai Electric Power decided to reinforce the compliance rules because the rules for gifts and entertainment were not specific, only with the guideline of “retain modestly within the scope of common sense”.
Announced that each department will continue to coordinate and the new rules will be applied from the 16th of next week.
In particular,
▽ Do not accept gifts or entertainment.
▽ However, for gifts, excluding souvenirs distributed at events, etc.
About entertainment, the membership fee system, which has been reported to the company in advance and approved, is an exception.
Kansai Electric Power says, “I want to change the rules to be concrete and work to restore trust.”
