Supply Chain Management
(Environment)
Reduction of environmental impacts cannot be fully achieved with the efforts of a single corporation. The Bandai Namco Group is addressing environmental issues across the entire supply chain in an effort to achieve a sustainable value chain with fewer environmental impacts.
Initiatives for Logistics
Obtain Green Management Certification in logistics operations
Logipal Express has been practicing safe and environmentally friendly driving (eco-driving), while also working to introduce low-emission vehicles and promote eco-driving to help protect the natural environment.
Additionally, the company has obtained Green Management Certification that can be obtained by transportation companies engaging in business operations with fewer environmental impacts. Green Management Certification has been obtained at vehicle dispatch bases nationwide, and the number of sales offices with Gold Certification, which can only be obtained after being recognized continuously for more than 10 years, is steadily increasing.
Promote eco driving
Logipal Express thoroughly practices eco-driving that prioritizes safety and the environment. The company has developed its own environmental manual, thoroughly manages fuel consumption for each vehicle model, and provides eco-driving training in a tie-up with car dealers.
In addition, the company participates in the Eco-Driving Activity Contest sponsored by the Foundation for Promoting Personal Mobility and Ecological Transportation every year. In 2018, it received the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s Award given to the organization that has made the most outstanding efforts in the field, and in 2024, it received the Excellence Certificate. Also, the company offers an eco-driving seminar annually along with training that covers practical skills.
Promoting the use of electric vehicles
Bandai Logipal and Logipal Express are making efforts to introduce vehicles that combine low emissions and safety.
We have introduced EV vehicles into their corporate fleets since fiscal 2023, and they are now exploring a plan to deploy EV trucks in the future.
To further spread the message, the companies revamped the eco-driving promotion stickers used in-house, featuring a character from the Group’s book, The Bears’ School.
Reducing CO2 emissions during ocean transport
Until December 2024, Bandai and Bandai Logipal used cargo ships that offset 160 tons of CO2 when transporting toys produced in their Philippine factories to Japan. In January 2025, we switched to cargo ships powered by biofuel, which is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 16 tons per year.
