Extensive
Social Contributions Using Abundant Management Resources
- |
|
Contributing to society is our important
management challenge, which is why Chugoku Electric applies its abundant
human resources, facilities, experience, and other management resources
to benefit the region and improve its culture.
From the sponsorship of concerts, lectures
and exhibitions to volunteer work at welfare facilities and the homes
of senior citizens living alone, and regional treeplanting and cleanup
projects, the scope of our activities is extensive. To support the
development of the Chugoku region, we assist local organizations,
such as the Chugoku Economic Federation, the Industrial Development
Center for Chugoku, and the Chugoku Regional Research Center. Chugoku
Electric and affiliates established the Electric Technology Research
Foundation of Chugoku in April 1991, and the Energia Culture and Sports
Foundation in October 1994.

|
Through these organizations, we contribute to
the development of technology, culture, and sports in the Chugoku
region.

Volunteer
Activities by Employees
|
 |
In May 2001, Chugoku Electric celebrated
its 50th anniversary. To commemorate this event and express our gratitude
to our customers in the region, we implemented "Philanthropy
Activities by 10,000 People," a project designed to emphasize
the value of becoming personally involved in community activities.
All of our 10,000 employees participated in cleanups, electricity
education classes, and other community-interchange programs. We plan
to continue activities under this project into the future.

We also use volunteer activities as a
chance for our employees to apply their expertise for the region.
In February 2002, we established a volunteer registration system and
set up the Energia Volunteer Personnel Bank. Employee volunteers register
their areas of expertise, which the bank can then apply in various
activities that meet regional needs by acting as go-between and introduction
agency. |

Actively
Promoting International Interchange |
|
In this area, we sponsor charity concerts,
and provide housing assistance to foreign exchange students in the
region, to support them and encourage interchange with the regional
community. In addition, the offices of the Honorary Consulate of Canada
in Hiroshima and the Hiroshima Canada Association are located within
our headquarters building, allowing us to assist exchanges between
Canada and Japan. In line with increasing internationalization and
the deepening problem of global warming, border-spanning interchange
and cooperation between electric power companies is becoming more
important than ever. At Chugoku Electric, we signed an agreement related
to technology exchange with Kuosheng Nuclear Power Station of Taiwan
Power Company. We also actively pursue international personnel and
technological interchange, for example, by dispatching engineers to,
and accepting trainees from overseas electric utilities via such organizations
as Japan Electric Power Information Center, Inc.
