Sustainable Use of Resources
and Raw Materials

To reduce the use of petroleum-based plastics and lower CO₂ emissions, we are advancing initiatives to use recycled materials or alternatives to plastics for part or all of certain products. For example, we have commercialized Gundam craft puzzles that are created from bamboo materials harvested from ethically managed forests. In addition, for Gundam model kits, we are using various alternatives to petroleum-based plastics, including eggshells discharged as industrial waste and used tea leaves created through the process of brewing green tea.

Bandai Namco Experience

In 2005, Bandai Namco Experience became the first company in the amusement industry to commence green procurement initiatives. Since then, we have been promoting procurement from suppliers who are responsibly managing chemical substances that could be harmful to people and the environment. As part of these initiatives, the company proactively utilizes eco-friendly components, materials, semiconductors, products, promotional items, and packaging that meet regulations both in Japan and overseas, thereby working to reduce its environmental burden.

Bandai

When it comes to toys, Bandai requires that they meet not only the Safety Toy standards (ST standards^*) established by the Japan Toy Association, but also Bandai’s own quality standards. We are constantly working to provide products that even small children can play with safely.

*Safety Toy standards: In the toy industry, the ST mark is displayed on toys that have passed the ST standard compliance test conducted by third-party inspection agencies. This standard includes mechanical safety, flammability safety, and chemical safety.

The Bandai Namco Mirai Kenkyusho’s employee cafeteria regularly serves Blue Seafood.

Blue Seafood refers to sustainable seafood that is relatively abundant and caught through well-managed fishing practices that protect the ecosystem. It is selected from seafood that meets the standards of Sailors for the Sea Japan (SFSJ), after rigorous screening. Prioritizing the consumption of seafood with abundant resources helps promote the recovery of marine resources in decline.

Bandai Namco Business Arc, which operates the employee cafeteria, has designated the second Tuesday of each month as Blue Seafood Day and offers a variety of menu options.
