The Kansai Electric Power Company pointed out a malfunction in governance from a third-party committee that conducted a survey on the receipt of money by executives. In response, Kansai Electric Power has set up an Internal Management Renewal Headquarters to determine specific measures to prevent recurrence by the end of June.
A third-party committee surveyed by Kansai Electric Power's executives on the issue of receiving money was found to have increased the number of employees who received money from former assistants in Takahama-cho, Fukui Prefecture, to 75, a total of three. The final report, e.g., valued at about 160 million yen, was compiled on the 14th.
In this report, not only receipt of gold goods but also problems such as providing information in advance to construction companies etc. related to former assistants and ordering promised works are pointed out.
In response, Kansai Electric Power has set up the Management Reform Headquarters in-house.
Specific measures to prevent recurrence, such as making the process of ordering construction transparent, will be decided by the end of June.
The report also pointed out that the nuclear power business had a significant impact on management and was technically specialized, making it a closed department, leading to governance dysfunction.
At a press conference on the night of March 14, President Takanori Morimoto stated, "We will recruit people with various experiences to key positions in the nuclear power division to foster human resources."
The new management team is likely to be asked how to reform the corporate structure that has been pointed out as an "extreme inward culture."
