Notes:
1. The amount of renewable energy used (purchased) prior to fiscal 2021 is included in the total for non-renewable energy.
2. For figures for fiscal 2025 denoted with a “★,” limited assurance or review by a third party has been conducted.
3. Past figures may be retroactively revised based on a thorough examination of tabulation results.
4. From fiscal 2025, the Scope 3 targets have been expanded to include all Bandai Namco Group companies (consolidated basis) both in Japan and overseas. The scope of companies until fiscal 2024 was Bandai, Bandai Spirits, Bandai Namco Entertainment, Bandai Namco Filmworks, Bandai Namco Experience, and Bandai Namco Amusement.
5. The Scope 2 figures for fiscal 2025 are calculated after deducting the equivalent amount of non-fossil fuel certificates.
6. We began calculating Scope 2 (location-based) emissions from fiscal 2025.
7. Waste data is compiled by treatment method starting from fiscal 2024.
【Calculation method for Scope 3 CO2 emissions】
Category 1:Amount procured multiplied by the emission factor (excluding internal transactions)
Category 2:Amount of capital investments multiplied by the emission factor (Groupwide)
Category 3:Amount of each type of energy consumed multiplied by the emission factor
Category 4:Amount of transportation services purchased multiplied by the emission factor
Category 5:Amount of each type of waste generated multiplied by the emission factor for each processing method
Category 6:Travel expenses paid for each mode of transportation multiplied by the emission factor. For Bandai Namco Entertainment only, number of employees multiplied by the emission factor
Category 7:Travel expenses paid multiplied by the emission factor for the case in which all travel was on passenger railways
Category 9:Calculated by multiplying transport distance by transport weight and by truck transport emission factor (Bandai Namco Experience)
Category 11:For products that use batteries, with an assumption that batteries are changed twice, product sales volume, number of batteries used, and amount of electricity consumed based on average battery lifespan are calculated and multiplied by the emission factor (Bandai)
Calculated by multiplying the annual usage time, derived from the sales quantity of game machines, power consumption, average operating hours, and number of operating days of game centers, by the emission factor (Bandai Namco Experience and Bandai Namco Amusement)
Category 12:Weight of sold products multiplied by the emission factor. However, for Bandai and Bandai Spirits, the average weight of products accounting for 10% of sales for each division is used; for Bandai Namco Filmworks, the average weight of the top 10 products by sales volume is used; and for Bandai Namco Experience, only game machines are considered.
Notes:
・Categories 8, 10, 13, 14, and 15 are not applicable.
・For Scope 3 calculations, we use the emission intensity values listed in the Database of Emissions Unit Values for Accounting of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Organizations Throughout the Supply Chain (Ver. 3.6). Regarding Scope 3 Category 1, starting in fiscal 2025, we switched the monetary-based emission intensity values (producer price basis) to those listed in “5 (Reference) Input-Output Table Database (New).”
