Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. held a press conference saying that the results of an investigation by a compliance committee made up of lawyers and others were summarized in response to a series of problems in which former executives had received a large amount of money.
The committee concluded that there was a compliance breach, such as the Kansai Electric Power Company's acquiescence, even though it was an unreasonable amount because it was higher than the actual work due to orders for some works.
This was revealed by Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. at a press conference on the 20th.
According to this, an in-house compliance committee made up of lawyers and others related to a series of problems in which former executives of Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. received a large amount of money from a former assistant in Takahama Town, Fukui Prefecture, where the nuclear power plant is located. We investigated three cases that were pointed out to be suspicious in terms of compliance and compiled a report.
As a result of the investigation, in the construction to dispose of the earth and sand in accordance with the safety measures of the nuclear power plant ordered by Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc., the actual work was done in response to the request from the former assistant officers for "Yoshida Development" which was related to the former assistant officer. Higher unjustified amounts have been paid, and Kansai Electric Power has pointed out that it may have tolerated this.
He also pointed out that when renting a warehouse through Kansai Electric Power's subsidiary "Kanden Plant," which had hired a former assistant as an advisor, the rent was unreasonably higher than the market price, and all of them violated compliance.
In response to this report, Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. has strengthened measures to prevent recurrence and added new rules to check whether the price is appropriate for an outside real estate appraiser when renting land. ..
