Bandai Namco sustainability score: 37/100

Scope 1 and 2 across all consolidated companies (FY2026.3): 7,454 t Scope 1 and 39,642 t Scope 2 market-based, verified under GHG Protocol with limited third-party assurance. Five years of data disclosed. Scope 1 has risen from 5,540 t in FY2022, indicating upward trend. No national registry filing identified.

Scope 3 of 1,907,270 t-CO2e now covers all consolidated companies versus six previously. Ten of 15 categories quantified; purchased goods 1,044,129 t. Category 11 (use phase) covers only battery products and arcade machines—video game use phase entirely unmeasured. Company explicitly states lack of comprehensive data, precise calculation, and third-party assurance for Scope 3. Supplier engagement is stated intent without coverage figures.

Scope 1+2 fell 32% to 45,095 t-CO2e by FY2026.3 after certificates and 2,000 t credits; location-based Scope 2 alone is 54,953 t. Scope 3 on unchanged six-company boundary rose from 1,091,255 t to 1,325,924 t over two years. FY2026.3 Scope 3 figure incomparable due to boundary expansion and emission factor changes. Scope 3 comprises ~97% of total footprint; reductions offset by supply-chain growth.

Renewable electricity 23.5 million kWh of 128.8 million kWh total (18%) in FY2026.3, up from zero four years prior, achieved via non-fossil fuel certificates rather than named renewable generators. On-site solar installed at some domestic sites. No group renewable-share target and no RE100 membership found. Reporting does not distinguish certified purchases from power purchase agreements.

FSC-certified paper and ethically managed bamboo used in specific products; general nature commitment in Code of Conduct. No TNFD disclosure, biodiversity assessment, group deforestation commitment, or quantified nature footprint identified across pages searched and dedicated search. Awareness and sourcing restricted to product level only; no enterprise-wide nature risk management.

Group Plastic Environmental Consideration Policy (April 2025) lacks reduction figure. FY2026.3: 57 t Gunpla runners and 57 t Gashapon capsules collected; recycled pellets comprise ~40% of new capsules, recycled cotton equivalent to 45.5M PET bottles used in 378 products. Industrial waste 4,502 t under assurance; end-of-life sold products 598,706 t-CO2e Scope 3. Public reporting but no binding circular economy targets.

Tap water 173,906 m³ and wastewater 170,790 m³ in FY2026.3, both under third-party assurance, down from 187,553 m³ prior year but above 149,176 m³ four years ago. Rainwater reuse at model-kit plant; accreditation as Water Cycle ACTIVE Company. CDP Water Security score B-. No water reduction target or supply-chain water impact quantified.

Absolute targets for own sites: 32,500 t-CO2 by 2030 (50% below base), 27,000 t by 2035 (65%), net zero 2050—upgraded from 35% by 2030 in 2021. Latest result 45,095 t beat annual 46,500 t target using certificates and carbon credits. Scope 3 lacks reduction target; only aims to improve calculation and explore measures. No SBTi commitment or validation found.

Group Sustainability Committee chaired by president reports to board. TCFD support announced September 2023. Director bonuses vary with sustainability evaluation including GHG emissions; FY2026.3 adjustment was zero. Scope 1 and 2 assured; Scope 3 unassured. CDP Climate Change score B.
