Kyushu Electric Power Company is selected by CDP, an international environmental non-profit organization, for the CDP2024 Climate Change A List. This is the highest ranking in the climate change category, awarded to companies that excel in transparency and performance in the area of climate change, and Kyushu Electric Power Company has achieved this honor for the second consecutive year.

　CDP is a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging corporations and local authorities to disclose information and take action on environmental issues. This is done at the request of institutional investors and other organizations worldwide that are highly concerned about these issues. Each year, CDP collects, analyzes, and evaluates information on the environmental activities of the world's major companies. It then selects those with the best climate change-related initiatives and information disclosure for the Climate Change A-List. In 2024, more than 24,800 companies worldwide responded, including over 2,100 Japanese companies, which account for more than 70% of the companies listed on the Prime Market of Tokyo Stock Exchange.

　At the Kyuden Group, we view tackling global warming as a chance for corporate growth. We have set an ambitious goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across our entire value chain by 2050. But we were not stopping there; we were also aiming for "Carbon Negativity" as early as possible before 2050. This goal goes beyond neutrality, contributing to the reduction of emissions throughout society. We believe our selection for the A List is a testament to our commitment to these ambitious goals and the transparency of our information disclosure.

　The Kyuden Group will continue to lead Japan's decarbonization efforts as the industry's frontrunner in climate change mitigation. We also view the global trend towards decarbonization as a business opportunity for innovation and further corporate growth.
