Promotion of Diversity and Inclusion
The Bandai Namco Group is committed to being a group that demonstrates the concept of “same spirit, diverse talents,” where its companies and employees with varied talents, individual characteristics, and values play an active role. We respect the diversity of our people and adopt a common Groupwide policy for recruitment and promotion focused on factors other than when a person was hired (new graduate or mid-career), or their gender, age, nationality, race, religion, or sexual orientation. We are working to establish systems, programs and a work environment that bring out the best in our diverse pool of human resources and that ensure the physical and mental well-being of our employees at work.
Initiatives for Diversity and Inclusion
Contributing to society while promoting the employment of people with disabilities within the Group
Bandai Namco Will is a special subsidiary of the Bandai Namco Group that provides job opportunities for people with disabilities. We are mainly responsible for tasks contracted by Group companies, and are engaged in running the mailroom, cleaning offices and stores, office administration, and development and sales support work.
The company also plays a leading role in promoting employment of people with disabilities throughout the Group, and promotes understanding of the working environment together with people with disabilities through such measures as operating the website “UniNAVI,” which provides correct information on disabilities, and implementing internships for employees with disabilities from group companies and Bandai Namco Will.
In addition to these, in recent years we have also started operating a farm. In cooperation with a local public interest corporation, we produce fruits and vegetables at a farm in Kanuma City, Tochigi Prefecture. Through these efforts, we aim to create and promote stable employment for people with disabilities, while also proposing new value to the local community and the group.
The company respects the individuality of each person and aims to contribute to the Group and society.



Women’s empowerment and diverse working style promotion project
Bandai Logipal has developed various personnel systems to create a work environment that achieves work-life balance in response to Japan’s enactment of laws related to work style reform in fiscal 2024. As an example, in fiscal 2023, the company introduced a fixed working hour system instead of a variable working hour system. From fiscal 2024, the company shifted to a full two-day weekend system with a total of 125 days off annually. We also partially introduced a flextime system. As a result, employees’ work styles are becoming more diverse.
As part of its D&I initiatives, the company has also launched a project to empower women and promote diverse working styles, through which it is actively exchanging information and personnel with other companies.
The company also conduct large-scale internal surveys on gender to collect information on such matters as differences between men and women in terms of work environment and motivation for promotions. In turn, this information is used to consider measures that should be implemented in future projects.
In addition, Bandai Namco Europe held an internal event called Gender Equality Day in fiscal 2023 at its Lyon office for employees of Bandai Namco Europe, Bandai Namco Entertainment France, and Bandai SAS. The event featured various workshops and activities with the aim of raising employees’ awareness of gender equality. This event was conducted in response to the results of a GPTW* employee awareness survey.
*Great Place To Work® Institute Japan. An international research organization that conducts employee awareness surveys in 150 countries around the world and uses the results to certify companies as Great Places To Work, publishing rankings and other information.


Actively employ people with disabilities
Since 2016, Bandai Namco Craft has been collaborating with local schools for the disabled to host hands-on learning in the workplace in order to provide them with an idea of what it is like to be a part of society through work experience. Accompanying this, the company actively employs people with disabilities.
When accepting people with hearing impairments, sign language education is provided to employees of the assigned department and management department to make it one of the means of communication. In addition, brief explanations about fingerspelling and sign language are posted throughout the plant to facilitate communication among employees.
