President Akihiko Watanabe

The world is currently at a major turning point in the transition to a decarbonized society. At the same time, addressing social challenges such as energy security, stable supply, and the sustainability of local communities has become more important than ever.

In this context, hydropower is a critical energy source that harnesses the power of nature to provide stable electricity over long periods. Through our hydroelectric power generation system business, we support essential social infrastructure and contribute to addressing these societal challenges.

In addition to contributing to decarbonization as a form of renewable energy, our business provides the flexibility needed to stabilize power systems. It also creates long-term value while coexisting with local communities, reflecting our management philosophy of achieving harmony among the environment, society, and the economy. Accordingly, we emphasize not only short-term profitability, but also long-term human resource development, technological advancement, sound governance, and the building of trust with local communities.

Looking ahead, as the adoption of renewable energy continues to expand, hydropower will be indispensable in supporting the stability of power systems. We will continue to enhance its value and contribute to the realization of a sustainable energy society.

To contribute to carbon neutrality, advance and pass on technology, and enhance the well-being of all stakeholders, we are committed to further developing our business under the following management vision:
1. Contribute to society and the environment by pursuing the advantages of hydropower as a renewable energy source with supply-demand balancing capabilities, and achieve carbon neutrality 2. Continuously develop our hydroelectric power generation system business, built over more than 100 years, by providing solutions including adjustable-speed technology 3. Be a company where all employees take responsibility with pride and where all stakeholders, including employees, can achieve well-being

Our business builds social infrastructure that can be confidently passed on to future generations.
Rather than treating the environment and the economy, or society and corporate value, as opposing forces, we strive to achieve their coexistence through our business.
Going forward, we will continue to strengthen our human resources and business foundations from a medium- to long-term perspective, contributing to the realization of a prosperous and sustainable society for future generations.
