Enhanced Response
to Climate Change

Targeting decarbonization, we are advancing the conversion to electricity derived from renewable energy sources at major bases of Group companies.

We have converted to electricity derived from renewable energy sources for all of the electricity used at Bandai Namco Mirai Kenkyusho, Bandai head office building, Bandai Namco Experience head office building, Bandai Namco Studio head office building, Bandai Hobby Center—a model kits production facility of Bandai Spirits—as well as the nationwide logistics centers of Bandai Logipal and Logipal Express. As a result, we have achieved net-zero CO₂ emissions from office operations, reducing annual CO₂ emissions by more than 9,000 t-CO₂ in fiscal 2024 at these bases.

The Bandai Namco Group has installed solar power generation systems at a number of bases, including Bandai Hobby Center, a production factory for plastic models operated by Bandai Spirits, Bandai Namco Craft’s Kanto-Base, and Heart Okaga factory. Each is working toward achieving electricity self-sufficiency through solar power and the total electricity generated at these three sites was approximately 760,000 kWh* in fiscal 2024, reducing annual CO₂ emissions around 350 t-CO₂.

In addition, 1,080 solar panels will be installed at Bandai Spirits’ newest factory that will produce plastic models in fiscal 2025, bringing the total number of solar panels installed at the entire Bandai Hobby Center to 1,858. The amount of electricity generated by solar power at Bandai Hobby Center (main factory and new factory) will be approximately 940,000 kWh*, which is expected to reduce annual CO₂ emissions by approximately 390 t-CO₂.

At Bandai Namco Holdings Europe S.A.S.’s Lyon office, we are making efforts to create a comfortable workplace environment that considers employee health and reduces environmental impact, starting from the architectural design stage. In recognition of these efforts, in March 2023, the building received the “Excellent” rank of BREEAM certification^*, which is an environmental performance assessment and certification system for buildings administered in the United Kingdom.

*BREEAM certification: The environmental assessment method (EAM) for evaluating the environmental performance of buildings, formulated and administered by the Building Research Establishment (BRE) in the United Kingdom. It was developed in 1990 to evaluate the sustainability of buildings, making it the world’s longest-running building environmental certification system.

In October 2024, the Bandai Namco Group sponsored a sustainability-themed game for the opening home game of the Shimane Susanoo Magic, a professional basketball team that plays in the B.League. The game was completely carbon-neutral, with CO₂ emitted at the venue offset by blue carbon*, a CO₂ absorption effect achieved through Bandai Namco Group’s cooperation in protecting the marine environment of Shimane Prefecture. In addition, various events were held at the game to allow visitors and fans to learn about sustainability in a fun way.
