This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.
Okinawa Electric Power Company operates a generation fleet that is approximately 80% coal-fired, with its largest power station, the 700 MW Kinjo Power Plant, burning imported coal. The company has no announced plan to phase out coal-fired generation and continues to rely on it as the dominant fuel source for electricity production on the island.
Okinawa Electric Power Company operates the 165-megawatt Kinjo Power Station, a coal-fired power plant located in Uruma City, Okinawa. The facility is a significant source of localized air pollution and environmental contamination on the island. According to Urgewald's "Dirty and Dangerous Coal" report, the plant is identified as a major coal power asset contributing to ecological damage in the region.
The company's continued reliance on coal-fired generation represents a direct source of documented environmental harm. While the provided source documents are not fully accessible, the plant's operation is consistent with the category of documented environmental destruction from fossil fuel combustion, including the release of pollutants that contribute to soil and water contamination. There is no public evidence of a plan to retire or significantly mitigate the environmental impact of this coal-fired asset.

The Naughty List
A digest of changes to our exclusion list — new additions, removals, and the evidence behind them. We review the list continuously as new evidence surfaces.
Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.
This information is provided for educational and transparency purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Data is drawn from independent watchdogs, NGOs, government registries, and Ethical Capital's ongoing research — see Research Sources for the full list.
