Risk Management
The Bandai Namco Group has established the Group Risk Compliance Committee, chaired by the President and Representative Director of Bandai Namco Holdings Inc. The committee’s members include full-time directors and it has a secretariat. With this organization in charge, we have strengthened Groupwide risk management and put into place a system to respond to crises. Within this framework, we are working to strengthen compliance, prevent compliance violations, and enhance information security.
Approach to Information Security
The Bandai Namco Group recognizes that its initiatives for information security represent an important element of the Group’s business execution. We are working to safeguard our information assets while also taking into account changes in the legal and social situations.
We are working to prevent incidents by implementing appropriate information security countermeasures based on the value of our information assets pursuant to the Group Information Security Management Rules compliant with laws, regulations, and other rules. Maintaining and strengthening our information security system is considered a companywide action as part of our daily management and operating activities rather than the responsibility of individual organizations in charge. With this in mind, we strive for continuous improvement.
Implementation System
At each Group company, the President and Representative Director appoints a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) as the ultimate person responsible for information security.

Management of Personal Information
On occasion, the services provided by the Bandai Namco Group require that we obtain customers’ personal information. To ensure that we carefully manage this personal information, we maintain a Groupwide personal information management system compliant with the privacy laws of the countries where we operate. Additionally, the Personal Information Protection Guidelines set forth the appropriate handling of personal information, including the acquisition of only the minimal information necessary, optimization of access rights, and deletion of information after the purpose of use has been achieved. We obtain and handle customers’ personal information carefully following these guidelines after disclosing the purpose of use in advance. At the same time, we have established a companywide personal information management ledger to visualize processes from acquisition to deletion.
