This page includes information on KEPCO’s Green Procurement for suppliers.

Eco Proposal Box

We welcome eco-friendly “Eco Proposals” from suppliers for the following items. We generally evaluate and examine proposals for their environmental impact reduction and for conventional aspects of quality, safety, cost, and service.

Targets

  • Materials and equipment for power facilities (from suppliers with a proven track record)
  • Construction
  • Outsourcing details

Submission method

To make a submission, consult with us after making an inquiry regarding the environmental issues below.
Afterwards, we will provide an “Eco Proposal Form.”
The proposal form includes entries for environmental impact reductions and effects on pricing.
Please submit any technical references and test results along with the form.

Submission Criteria

Eco Proposals should address at least one of the following environmental issues and offer advantages over conventional products.
