1 Placing importance on communication with society
Pursue proactive disclosure
In order to promote the understanding of both the Company’s
business activities and nuclear power generation, we proactively
disseminate information through presidential and other press
conferences. At press conferences, we use diagrams and other
devices for ease of understanding, and videos of the press confer-
ences are available on our website.
We disclose site information and hold tours and press briefings
for the mass media to ensure accurate news coverage.

2 Putting safety and peace of mind as top priorities
Eliminating Occupational Accidents
Based on our belief that safety and health take priority over
everything, we have formulated a company-wide Occupational
Safety & Health Management Policy and plan. The Workplace
Safety & Health Committee discusses policies, and promotes
safety measures at each workplace.
There has been an increase in occupational accidents
involving employees as well as occupational accidents involving
contractors. In order to ensure that work is carried out safely at
worksites, we are working to put in place measures to prevent
accidents based on risk assessments, studying and implement-
ing measures to prevent occupational accidents from recurring
based on thorough investigations of causes, and following up
on the effectiveness of such recurrence prevention measures.
From the standpoint of compliance, we regularly offer educa-
tion related to occupational safety and health ordinances as well
as implement virtual exposures to danger and other safety educa-
tion programs in order to raise employees’ sensitivity to danger.

4 Aiming for corporate activities that are friendly to the environment
Initiatives to Curtail CO2 Emissions
CO2 emissions per kWh of electricity sold for fiscal 2012 were
0.599 kg- CO2. This represented a 19% increase compared with
fiscal 2011. The increase was due to a substantial rise in thermal
power generation because of the continued stoppage of our nuclear
power facilities.
Kyushu Electric Power’s main target had been to reduce
average CO2 emissions per kWh of electricity sold for fiscal 2008
through fiscal 2012, during the first five-year pledge period of
the Kyoto Protocol, by around 20% compared with levels in 1990
as the base year. However, due to the prolonged stoppage of
our nuclear power facilities, curtailments from the base year
averaged no more than 1.6%.
CO2 emissions per kWh of electricity sold (kg-CO2/kWh)

[ ] Numbers before reflecting carbon credits
Note:
Calculated based on the Japanese government’s formula for CO2
emissions by business.*The five-year average of CO2 emissions per kWh of electricity sold may
be revised a small amount to reflect a lag in the approval of additional
CO2 emission credits owing to the UN’s assessment procedures and
other hitches.

Voluntary CO2 Reduction Target
Cut average CO2 emissions per kWh of electricity
sold for fiscal 2008 through fiscal 2012 by around
20% from fiscal 1990 levels (reduce to around 0.348
kg-CO2/kWh)
Although the target was not attained, Kyushu Electric Power
has nonetheless worked to reduce CO2 emissions per kWh of
electricity sold by curtailing both the supply and use of electricity,
while obtaining approximately 10 million tons in CO2 emission
credits over the past five years. Had it not been for the stoppage
of nuclear power facilities, Kyushu Electric Power may have
attained its targeted 20% reduction in levels of CO2 emissions.
The Company will continue to work on reducing CO2 emissions
and promote initiatives for realizing a low carbon society in order
to stay in step with the measures to prevent global warming that
the Japanese government is formulating.
Kyushu Electric School of the Future for the Young
We are engaged in activities to foster interest in energy and
environmental issues among young people. For example, we visit
schools and give lectures about how electricity is created as well
as about energy conservation and the environment. We also have
a program where community Eco-Mothers visit nursery schools
and other childcare centers and conduct Eco-Mothers activities
where they read environmental picture-story shows which raise
awareness of environmental problems. We are also involved in
community-based activities such as rugby classes.

the employment of persons with disabilities, as well as creating
a working environment that helps employees balance their work
and home commitments.
With the low birthrate and aging population in recent years,
in addition to raising their own children employees have increasing
needs related to caring for elderly family members. We will con-
tinue to consider ways to help employees more flexibly respond
to both needs.
Creating work environments that foster diversity
We undertake comprehensive initiatives to motivate our workforce
and create a dynamic corporate culture for all employees, regardless
of gender or age. Efforts include helping female employees to build
their careers, balance their work and home commitments, and foster-
ing a culture of broader awareness to support these objectives.
Efforts include helping female employees build their careers,
enhancing the hiring environment for elderly persons, promoting

TOPICS: Holding the Try Forum
As part of our efforts to raise awareness and reform the organizational culture in promoting
diversity, each year we hold the Try Forum, a company-wide women’s group. This event provides
an opportunity for female employees to build networks and learn about personal growth
through their work.
In fiscal 2012, approximately 50 female employees from engineering-related divisions
(including group companies), where they are far outnumbered by male colleagues, participated
in the event. They spent time envisioning themselves 5 to 10 years in the future, and had discus-
sions about what they can do, as well as what they want to ask of their supervisors and
workplaces, in order to achieve their visions.

Report
Enhancing the Compliance Promotion Framework
Kyushu Electric Power has established a Compliance Committee
chaired by the president. Under the Compliance Committee
there are implementation bodies led by compliance officers.
The Compliance Committee formulates and executes policies,
and has established structures which include internal and
external consultation desks, and promotes compliance
management.
Furthermore, in July 2012 we strengthened our promotion
structure based on the opinions from a third party regarding the
issue of employees having posed as members of the public and
Main initiatives to strengthen the compliance
promotion system (July 2012)
• Established an independent promotion structure by a single
department with jurisdiction for compliance
• Enhanced the functions of the Compliance Committee during any
scandal that has a large societal impact (advice, etc. from outside
experts)
• Appointed personnel responsible for compliance at all Company
branch offices (excluding Tokyo) for the purpose of educating
employees, etc.
